http://saeepande.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. After reading a wide range of articles and analysis on the current situation in Egypt I realized that there has been no decisive judgment for what Egypt is headed for and what is going to be the outcome of this whole diaspora. The ample speculations range from-. If Egypt will end up becoming a more radical Islamic state under the Muslim Brotherhood or. If Egypt may have a rough democracy with illiberal connotations or. When asked which side they would take in a struggle between...

Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Much Ado About Nothing! And what credibility do these so called youth leaders bring to the youth politics of the country or even to Maharashtra state for that matter? Has the media tried to find out- what do these elections mean to the common man? Or do they even matter to the common man (youth)? Or are these just publicity stunts by the candidates who are trying to be in the limelight with constant media coverage? But the argument here is a little different – democra...

Saee Pande: Modi's Mahatma !

Saturday, October 4, 2014. 8220; Modi’s Mahatma calls for, exclusive Hinduism, rising consumerism and designer wear clothing.”. If this was truly and honestly about upholding Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals and respecting his dream of a clean India it should have started with condemning the provocative speeches by BJP leaders during and after the Lok Sabha elections of 2014.

http://saeepande.blogspot.com/2013/02/midnights-children-india-pakistan.html
Friday, February 15, 2013. Midnight’s Children: India and Pakistan? My first aim to watch this film ‘Midnight’s Children’ was because I knew I would never end up reading the book! Salman Rushdi’s books have always been quite intimidating and almost incomprehensible for me. Hence, I thought of this movie adaptation of the book by the esteemed director- Deepa Mehta -as an opportunity where I could know it all, without going through the trouble of reading the book.
