Did NDTV get it all wrong while covering the Assam elections? And what about The Times of India‘s  example of hard-hitting journalism while covering the British royals’ visit? Is there gossip in Tavleen Singh’s new book? Aside from searing issues like these, we also discussed the tragic Kollam temple fire, remembered Dr BR Ambedkar on his 125th birth anniversary and the persistent horrors of caste. Listen up to NL Hafta, episode 63.
