Lata apparently broke down on seeing her niece's body. After the inquest and recording of statements, Varsha's body was sent to J J hospital for a post-mortem around 4pm.
As soon as the news spread, mediapersons besieged the Prabhu Kunj building. Curious neighbours were seen peeping from their windows while some came, inquired about the incident and returned to their flats.
Born in , Varsha briefly worked as a playback singer in Hindi and Marathi movies, and appeared in concerts with her mother. She made a career as a political columnist with a right-wing tilt. She had divorced her husband, former sports writer and PR professional Hemant Kenkare, in and had moved in with her mother in the Prabhu Kunj flat.

There was therefore nothing unnatural or extraordinary in a Bengali poet, Rabindranath Tagore, composing or singing a song in praise of the Emperor out of gratitude.
But differences of opinion were bound to arise when the question of its adoption as the national anthem came up. The choice of a national anthem should undoubt Rabindranath Tagore did not contradict newspaper reports which characterised Jana Gana Mana as a song composed in honour of King George V.
Gradually the tide of nationalism began to affect the old values. Loyalty to the country and loyalty to the King became irreconcilable. Honour, devotion and love of the country not only ceased to co-exist with honour, devotion and love of King Emperor, but mutually antagonistic. Also the British government which was charging people with sedition for singing Vande Mataram extended high regard to Jana Gana Mana.
It was sung in government schools, and in scout groups which fostered loyalty to the British throne. The British also praised the song. Varsha Bhosle should never stop writing her commentaries! Keep it up. At last you have a journalist who can talk straight without beating around the bush. You should see Indian Muslims in a foreign country, how soon they get close to Pakistanis and maintain distance with Indians Hindus.
This is true except for Bohri Muslims. Indian Muslims even refuse to attend Indian Independence Day and enthusiastically participate in Pakistani Independence Day celebrations. It is also ironic that the Muslims who migrated from India during Partition are rather more forthcoming in establishing contact with Indians. Perhaps Indian Muslims can learn from the experiences of their brethren who deserted their homeland. Vande Mataram. I really believe that you are nuts even if it makes me crazy.
First, without giving any real compelling reasons or citing evidence, she asserts that what Dhondy and Zwick showed was not incorrect, and that the people who criticised them were unreasonable in doing so, that they were doing so because of some sort of collective-guilt trip or something like that.
Then she goes on to imply that those who criticise the RSS and company for doing what they are doing with respect to the minorities must also be doing so for similar reasons and hence wrong.
Impressive logic, except that no real case has been made; some assertions have been made on the basis of warped arguments that will not endure even a mildly rigorous examination. Of course there are opportunists like Mulayam and company who try to exploit the minorities by doing what they do, but that doesn't imply that the so-called pseudo-secularists are wrong in opposing the government's moves and motives in recent events. The basic thrust of V Bhosle's argument is that the Muslim minorities are getting many benefits and special treatments that the majority community doesn't.
Consider the following two counter-arguments: Firstly, if you view the Muslim community in India as a whole, an overwhelming majority of them are poor, and educationally, financially, and socially backward. To some extent, I think they are themselves responsible for their backwardness as a community , but my point is that if that community is indeed reaping the benefits of special treatment for so many decades, how come their situation has not improved and perhaps only worsened?
It would be nice if V Bhosle can provide some reliable statistical data. Secondly, so what if some special treatment is meted out to minorities? If you view Muslim-Indian culture as a culture largely distinct from Hindu culture and accept the premise that efforts should be made to preserve all cultures because each culture represents a unique collective wisdom gathered over many years , then it is natural to grant special treatments to minorities: The majority, just by virtue of being the majority, will manage to preserve and propagate its culture; the minorities need a little help in doing so.
I believe that the basic idea of real Hinduism as opposed to "Hindutva", its pseudo-version calls for preservation of different cultures and a healthy interaction among them. The so-called "pesudo-secularists" should use some new terminology while addressing the RSS and its cronies: "Hindutva" is pseudo-Hinduism and "Hindutva-vaadis" are "pseudo-Hindus. Whatever you have told is exactly right. Why Muslims should enjoy the facilities what we Hindus don't have? We assured them that we will give equal rights, not anything more than that.
Why should we sponsor their Haj? Why should we? All these problems are because of our secularists, they have given them these facilities. Because secularists supports such silly things, that's why Muslims raise their voice. But this will not run for a long time, even Hindus are aware how they are treated in their own country. They will definitely react. I have kept track of the responses to your articles. There are hate mails, but very negligible as opposed to the love mails you get.
That itself shows that a majority of Indians are with you. Don't be afraid to tell the truth, the whole world knows that Islam has been very aggressive. One of the persons who responded to your previous article Mr Mazheruddin Aliahmed says about the Babri Masjid demolition -- he says Muslims have put up with such activities in India. I just want to tell him that still they retaliate.
On every December 6 you can expect some riots, it's true. He claims Islam is a universal religion, but I consider it a universal threat. I have no doubt about that. You want evidence: 1. Pakistan is a Muslim country, you know how they are maintaining peace there. Today I read Russia has expelled six Pakistanis for spreading communal tension in the name of religion.
