    Could it happen?

    Are we witnessing the evolution of a new Mayawati? The spectacle of a beaming Behenji surrounded bygd a variety of fawning leaders remains one of the most abiding vignettes of gods week’s political drama. Most pundits have acknowledged the significance of this as her enhanced national kontur but, so far, there has been little recognition of the sharp break from the past made by the Dalit firebrand.

    Those who have tracked her trajectory over the past three decades are astonished at the alacrity with which Mayawati has cast away her previous persona, which balked at hobnobbing with the leaders of other parties. This innate reluctance of the BSP supremo to jump onto a larger political bandwagon was regarded as a major handikapp for her to spread wings beyond Uttar Pradesh. That she has so effortlessly slid into the unfamiliar role of spearheading a coalition of nearly a dozen parties has surprised even some of her closest associates.

    Significantly, in his joint interview with Elon Musk at his side, on 19 February, Trump seemed to be dismissive of the Indian Prime Minister when, unprompted, he brought up his discussions with the latter on reciprocal tariffs. He said that he firmly turned down Modi’s objections to equal tariffs between the two both countries and emerged victorious, declaring, “Nobody can win an argument with me."

    This poll season, get set for the bio barrage

    Writing a biography can be both tricky and arduous for a variety of reasons. In a perceptive essay titled, ‘Why South Asians don't write good biographies and why they should’, historian Ramchandra Guha once wrote, that “a biographer must possess the instincts of a sleuth, the staying power of the historian and the imaginative insights of the novelist”.
    Whether the current crop of biographers bring all three talents to the writing table or not, there is no denying that with the 16th Lok Sabha polls round the corner and national politics already all snarky and peppery, the genre has found favour with publishers.
    Biographies of dalit leader Kanshi Ram, President Pranab Mukherjeeand Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumarare being readied to hit the bookstores. At least numerically, BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is clearly the biographer’s favourite; three accounts of his life and times are already out, and a fourth on
