Shakira says immigrant life in U.S. under Trump's policies feel like ‘living in constant fear, pain'
Global music star Shakira has spoken out about the deep fear many immigrants face in the United States, especially in light of Donald Trump's return to the White House and his administration's strict immigration stance. In a recent interview with BBC News, the Colombian-born singer reflected on her own experience moving to the U.S. at just 19 years old to pursue her music career. She said that, like many Colombians, she arrived in Miami in search of a better future. 'To learn English, I turned to the works of Leonard Cohen, Walt Whitman and Bob Dylan,' she said. 'They helped me understand how the English language works, especially in songwriting.' But Shakira shared that life in the U.S. has grown more difficult for immigrants in recent years. 'It means living in constant fear,' she said. 'And it's painful to see.' Her comments come at a time when Trump's administration has intensified its crackdown on immigration. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have led to widespread protests across Los Angeles and other parts of the country, with many claiming the actions are unlawful and inhumane. 'Now, more than ever, we have to remain united,' Shakira urged. 'We must raise our voices and make it clear — while immigration laws may change, the treatment of people must always be humane.' Even during the Grammys 2025, Shakira dedicated her win to the Latin community and expressed her pride and happiness for her people. Her words have struck a chord with many in the Latin community, who say her voice adds much-needed attention to their struggles.

Through Cracked Mirror: A Saga of Gandhi's Light & Shadow In Mahatma's Manifesto
Last Updated: Talwar portrays Gandhi as a mariner of contradictions, a man who navigated India's liberation with a spinning wheel yet steered into waters of absurdity Imagine a twilight realm where the setting sun casts long shadows across a dusty plain. In this liminal space stands the colossal figure of Mahatma Gandhi, his silhouette etched against the sky – a saint, a liberator, an enigma draped in homespun cloth. Rajesh Talwar enters this scene not with a torch to burnish the icon, nor an axe to shatter it, but with a cracked mirror, its surface glinting with the promise of revelation. His critique of Gandhi's Hind Swaraj, The Mahatma's Manifesto, is not a mere academic dissection; it is a bard's tale, a narrative that dances between reverence and reckoning, weaving a tapestry both luminous and shadowed. Let us explore this landscape, tracing the contours of Talwar's narrative as it probes the soul of a man who liberated a nation, yet bound it with paradox. Our tale begins on the turbulent waves of the Indian Ocean in 1909, aboard the Kildonan Castle, where Gandhi, a 40-year-old barrister turned visionary, commits his manifesto to paper – a slim scroll of 30,000 words titled Hind Swaraj. It is a clarion call against colonial chains, a hymn to self-rule, yet also a fervent sermon decrying modernity's trappings. Talwar, our guide, boards this ship not as a disciple bowing to a prophet, but as a navigator charting a tempestuous sea. In the preface, he reveals the inner turmoil he experienced upon first encountering Gandhi's words – a gale of agitation, a thunderclap of disbelief at the Mahatma's condemnation of machinery, medicine, law, and the English language. This inner storm propels our journey, driving a narrative that seeks not to idolise, but to illuminate. Talwar portrays Gandhi as a mariner of contradictions, a man who navigated India's liberation with a spinning wheel yet steered into waters of absurdity. Picture the Mahatma on deck, his dhoti billowing like a flag of defiance, condemning railways as the Devil's chariot – yet historical accounts reveal he used them to mobilise his followers. He brands English a shackle on India's spirit, yet his own pen dances in that language with a barrister's grace, translating Hind Swaraj for the world. Talwar does not hurl these paradoxes like stones; he strings them like pearls, each a shimmering facet of a man both sage and enigma. The preface sets the stage: this is neither hagiography nor hatchet job, but a mirror held to a saint's face, reflecting a visage noble yet flawed. THE WEAVER'S LOOM: UNRAVELLING GANDHI'S COMMANDMENTS In Chapter 9, 'The Saint's Commandments', Talwar leads us to a metaphorical mountaintop, a Sinai where Gandhi lays down his laws. Here, the Mahatma's voice booms: shun machinery, embrace the handloom, let caste endure as an eternal flame. Talwar stands before this edifice not as Moses in awe, but as a weaver inspecting a loom. He finds the threads of Gandhi's vision tangled – some taut with wisdom, others frayed with folly. The Mahatma extols caste as a pillar of restraint, a system to organise society like a quilt of distinct patches. 'Hereditary principle is an eternal principle," Gandhi writes, as quoted by Talwar, a decree that fixes a Brahmin as a Brahmin, a Shudra as a Shudra, for fear of chaos. Yet Talwar examines this quilt, seeing not harmony but division, its seams stitched with the suffering of the untouchables and the tears of lovers forbidden to cross caste lines. Gandhi's pronouncements grow even more perplexing. He likens eating to a 'dirty act," exalting the peace of defecation over the discomfort of a meal – a statement so bizarre it hangs in the air like a riddle. Talwar observes this not with scorn, but with the curiosity of a storyteller unearthing a relic. He notes Gandhi's later shift in 1925, softening his stance from rigid castes to the broader varna system – four grand divisions to 'reproduce the old system." Yet this evolution resembles a river only partially diverted, its waters still muddied by the silt of tradition. Talwar contrasts this with B.R. Ambedkar's sharp accusation, cited from a BBC interview, that Gandhi's English pronouncements masked an orthodox Hindu heart – a duality that resonates through Hind Swaraj like a drumbeat beneath a hymn. The analysis deepens as Talwar probes Gandhi's intent. Was this mountaintop sermon a blueprint for utopia or a relic of nostalgia? The Mahatma offers no tools to build anew, only a spade to unearth an ancient India he deems pure. Talwar suggests this vision lacks substance – Gandhi rails against lawyers and courts but proposes no alternative system of justice; he damns doctors as worse than quacks, yet offers no remedy for the millions suffering from malaria. The commandments, then, are less a map than a mirage, shimmering with idealism yet dissolving under scrutiny. Talwar's narrative here is a tightrope walk – praising Gandhi's sincerity while exposing his flawed logic, a dance that keeps us teetering between admiration and dismay. In Chapter 10, 'In Conclusion', Talwar leads us to a crossroads, a dusty junction where the past meets a present ablaze with conflict. By a flickering fire, he recounts Gandhi's legacy: the embers of non-violence glow brightly, a beacon for a world scarred by wars from Ukraine to Gaza. The Mahatma's ahimsa, forged in Hind Swaraj's dialogues, remains a life-giving force – its wisdom undeniable, its impact eternal. Yet Talwar whispers of ashes amongst these embers: Gandhi's disdain for modernity, his sexual experiments, his iron grip on his family. Picture a father sending his niece into the night in Noakhali to search for a lost bathing stone, or a son trudging 32 kilometres for forgotten spectacles – vignettes Talwar paints with a storyteller's brush, revealing a dictator beneath the saintly shroud. The analysis sharpens as Talwar questions Gandhi's attire – that dhoti, a symbol of poverty's power. The world saw a gesture against British mills, a demonstration of solidarity with the poor; Talwar sees more – a rejection of all machinery, a crusade against progress itself. Gandhi's London days in pinstripes and spats, chronicled in the preface, clash with this ascetic garb, a metamorphosis from dandy to 'naked fakir" (as Churchill sneered). Talwar argues this was not mere political theatre but a deeply held belief: Gandhi believed factories were Satan's lair, railways the Devil's hooves. Yet he accepted Congress funds from mill owners, rode trains to his rallies – a hypocrisy Talwar threads into the narrative, not to wound, but to enhance our understanding. The crossroads poses a question: Is Gandhi relevant today? Talwar hears the chorus of 'Yes!" from India's politicians and intelligentsia, a roar drowning out dissent. He acknowledges the eight Oscars awarded to the 1982 film Gandhi, the dignitaries at Shanti Van, yet presses further. Non-violence endures, yes, but what of the rest? The brahmacharya experiments, the enema obsession, the vaccine disdain – these are weeds in Gandhi's garden, choking the roses of ahimsa. Talwar cites Einstein's awe – 'I scarce believe such a man walked this earth" – but juxtaposes it with the physicist's likely shock at Gandhi's anti-science stance, a clash of titans unspoken. The Mahatma's relevance, Talwar concludes, is a flickering flame: brilliant where it warms, dim where it scorches. THE MIRROR'S EDGE: TALWAR'S CRAFT AND CRITIQUE Talwar's Manifesto is not a dry list of faults; it is a saga, a fireside yarn spun with metaphorical flair. His prose soars like a kite in a monsoon wind – vivid, daring, unafraid to plunge into the storm. Gandhi emerges as a titan of flesh and blood, a man who liberated a nation with a charkha yet entangled it in whimsy. Talwar's mirror reflects a dual Gandhi: the saint of satyagraha, whose dialogues in Hind Swaraj (penned as Editor versus Reader) sing with clarity, and the eccentric who deems the Eiffel Tower a tobacco-fuelled folly. The preface's agitation fuels this duality, a spark that ignites each chapter. The analysis shines in Talwar's balance. He lauds Gandhi's non-violence as a 'river that still quenches," a legacy echoing from Jallianwala Bagh to global protests. Yet he wields a scalpel on the absurd: the caste rigidity, the machinery phobia, the silences on the brutality of untouchability. He cites Ambedkar's critique – Gandhi's Gujarati orthodoxy versus English piety – as a lens through which to view Hind Swaraj's divided soul. Talwar's refusal to reconcile Gandhi's contradictions (as he notes in the preface) is bold; he lets them stand raw, like jagged cliffs in a serene valley, trusting readers to navigate the terrain. For India's youth, to whom the book is dedicated, this is a clarion call – not to topple the statue, but to examine its foundations. Talwar's narrative is a bridge from reverence to reason, strewn with lotuses blooming in muddy ponds – metaphors that linger. The preface's intent – to counter Hind Swaraj's five-star Amazon reviews – becomes a quest: to unmask a Gandhi lost to myth, a man whose true face differs from the bespectacled smile on rupee notes. The chronology anchors this quest, tracing Gandhi's arc from London dandy to loincloth prophet, a timeline Talwar mines for irony and insight. THE FINAL ECHO: A TALE WORTH TELLING The Mahatma's Manifesto is not an easy read – not for its density, but for its challenge: to confront an unpolished Gandhi, a saint with clay feet. Its words are a treasure chest cracked open, spilling jewels of insight amid the dust of critique. Talwar's story lingers like a chanting echo, a melody of praise and probing. It is a mirror held at dusk, capturing Gandhi's light and shadow in equal measure – a tale that dares us to see the Mahatma not as a monolith, but as a man, flawed yet phenomenal, whose legacy we must sift like grain from chaff. top videos View all This review, from preface to conclusion, is a journey through Talwar's lens – a lens both poetic and piercing. Should more chapters emerge, the tale can only grow richer; for now, it stands as a saga of a saint revisited, a manifesto reimagined, and a mirror bravely raised.

3,000 copies of ‘Heart Lamp' sold out
Mysuru: The euphoria around 'Heart Lamp', the story collection of Hassan-based Kannada writer Banu Mushtaq, which brought the first International Booker Prize to Kannada, has continued. 'Edeya Hanate', a story collection in Kannada comprising 12 stories featured in the 'Heart Lamp' published by Abhiruchi Prakashana, is selling like hot cakes. 3,000 copies of this book, which was released on June 4, were sold out by June 8. According to Ganesh, publisher of Abhiruchi Prakashana, there is a demand for 20,000 copies of this book. It can be recalled that these 12 stories were part of 'Haseena Mattu Itara Kategalu'. "The Edeya Hanate book has great demand from all over the state," said Ganesh. "The book is well accepted by readers. The book is received very well both online and offline. We got huge demand from across the state, which is unique," he explained. He also stated that the demand for 'Haseena Mattu Itara Kategalu' is also good. Ganesh informed that the idea behind publishing the collection of 12 stories featured in the 'Heart Lamp' is to present the selected stories of Banu Mushtaq to readers, which will develop interest among readers in reading other stories of hers. "Immediately after she got the Booker Prize, there was a huge demand for her story collection. So we decided to bring this book along with the 'Haseena Mattu Itara Kategalu'. Currently, both the books are not available in the market. The re-printing is in progress," he said.
