Criminal Justice spotlights Asperger's; real patients still battle daily inequity
In India, 1 in 68 children is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Asperger's though often folded into the broader ASD category, remains clinically distinct in many respects. It is marked by significant impairments in social interaction and communication, alongside restricted interests, despite otherwise intact language co-morbidities such as anxiety and depression are common, yet public understanding remains dismally Rohan Sippy, otherwise known for his comedy flicks, delivers a taut narrative in his latest season of 'Criminal Justice'. The ongoing series steers clear of the histrionics that often plague Indian OTT content. Importantly, it takes a bold step by putting Asperger's syndrome in the front and right in the centre. It's not just a passing mention; the name is spoken, the condition is respected, and the portrayal of the syndrome is responsibly rendered. The result: A rare moment of clarity in Indian entertainment's murky representation of mental REAL ASPERGER'S For better context, Asperger's doesn't go by its own name any more in official diagnostic reports. It's now subsumed under an overarching ASD. The grouping may be clinically convenient, but it also heavily risks erasing the nuanced experiences of those who live with the condition. As psychiatrists like Dr Neerja Mathur point out, Asperger's is often presented with distinct psychiatric co-morbidities and behavioural traits that merit focused clinical attention and targeted interventions, not is this lack of specificity in diagnosis for AS that can have devastating consequences. Mitali Das, a mother and a social worker, recounts being shown the door by over 30 schools in New Delhi for her son's admission. "They couldn't place him because no one understood the difference between autism, Asperger's syndrome, Tourettes and dyslexia. We had to homeschool him.'While the West has made strides with specialist schools and trained support systems, India is still playing catch-up. Children with Asperger's often prefer to be homeschooled rather than attend regular schools. Even their high cognitive abilities do not mask the daily toll of social exclusion, bullying, and misunderstood irony is quite sharp. A condition identified as far back as 1944, named by British psychiatrist Lorna Wing in 1981, and increasingly common today, still goes largely unrecognised in classrooms, clinics, and is why 'Criminal Justice' matters. Not just for its storytelling, but for showing the courage to say the name, to represent reality, and to start the conversation. Whether the show will shift public attitudes or policy remains to be seen. But at the very least, it places Asperger's — finally — into the public that's a good first step.

14 years later, Papon recalls how Jiyein Kyun changed everything for him in Bollywood
When the song Jiyein Kyun from Dum Maaro Dum released in 2011, it became more than just a melancholic tune in a thriller film — it was Papon's breakthrough in Bollywood. The song, composed by Pritam and penned by Jaideep Sahni, stood out for its emotional depth and simplicity. For the Assamese singer, it opened doors to a string of soulful hits in Hindi cinema, including Moh Moh Ke Dhaage (Dum Laga Ke Haisha), Kyon (Barfi!), Humnava (Hamari Adhuri Kahani), and Bulleya (Sultan). 'Jiyein Kyun was my first big break in Bollywood. Technically, the first song I sang in Bollywood was Sajana from Let's Enjoy (2004), but Jiyein Kyun changed everything for me,' he tells us, adding that before that song, Bollywood was never his priority. 'I had no plans from my childhood for Bollywoods. I was performing in Mumbai when Rohan Sippy met me and asked if I'd like to sing for a film. Later, Pritam Da called me and appreciated my independent Assamese album Jonaki Raati before offering me this song,' he recalls. The 49-year-old singer also reflected on how Jiyein Kyun also challenged the industry's vocal norms at the time. When most playback singers were known for their high-pitched delivery, Papon insisted on maintaining a low and earthy tone. 'Back then, everyone was singing high. I was the only newcomer who sang that low. I actually recorded it seven semitones lower than it was originally composed by Pritam da, and that distinct depth became both a unique strength and, initially, a challenge as well. It was difficult to place a voice like mine against the typical Bollywood hero,' he recalls adding that it was this very depth that made the song unforgettable. Papon believes that the listeners connected with the song's rawness, and over time, it became an anthem for those nursing quiet heartbreaks or seeking introspection. 'Even today, almost every concert I perform, fans request Jiyein Kyun. It's one of my absolute favorites to sing live. I sincerely thank Pritam Da and Rohan Sippy for trusting my voice,' he adds.

14 Years of ‘Jiyein Kyun': How Papon's Soulful Ballad Redefined Bollywood Music
It's been 14 years since Jiyein Kyun from Dum Maaro Dum first graced our playlists, yet its emotional resonance remains undiminished. Sung by the king of soulful melodies, Papon, the track continues to strike a deep chord with listeners—becoming not just a fan favorite, but a defining moment in Bollywood's evolving musical landscape. A Turning Point in Papon's Musical Journey While Jiyein Kyun wasn't Papon's first playback in Bollywood—his debut being Sajana from Let's Enjoy—it was undeniably the breakthrough that introduced his unique voice to the mainstream. Reflecting on the moment, Papon expressed,'Jiyein Kyun was my first big break in Bollywood. It changed everything for me.' Composed by Pritam and penned by lyricist Jaideep Sahni, the song stood out with its haunting melody and introspective lyrics. From Assam to Bollywood: An Unplanned Path Papon's journey into Bollywood wasn't a pre-planned trajectory. In fact, he never envisioned himself as a playback singer. He said,'I had no plans from my childhood for Bollywood. I was performing in Bombay when Rohan Sippy heard me and asked if I'd like to sing for a film. Later, Pritam Da called me after listening to my Assamese album Jonaki Raati and offered me Jiyein Kyun.' That encounter sparked a shift, launching his career and leaving a lasting mark on Bollywood's musical direction. Breaking the Mold: A Voice That Defied Trends In an era when Bollywood playback singers often aimed for soaring high notes, Papon's understated depth was refreshingly different. Recalling the same, Papon shared,'Back then, everyone was singing high. I was the only newcomer who sang that low. I recorded it seven semitones lower than originally composed. That depth was both a strength and a challenge—it wasn't easy to match such a voice to the on-screen hero.' But what initially felt like an industry mismatch soon turned into his signature. An Anthem for the Heartbroken—and the Hopeful Jiyein Kyun became more than just a song—it turned into an anthem for those grappling with heartbreak and introspection. Its emotional honesty, paired with Papon's voice, made it timeless. 'Even today, at almost every concert I perform, fans request Jiyein Kyun. It's one of my favorites to sing live. I sincerely thank Pritam Da and Rohan Sippy for trusting my voice.' he shares with gratitude. A Legacy That Lives On As Jiyein Kyun celebrates 14 years, its legacy continues to echo—not only as a milestone in Papon's career but as a piece of art that still finds its way into the hearts of listeners, one note at a time.
