Mama Teltumbde and her children

Midday / by Ajaz Ashraf

At the cremation of her sixth child, Anusaya Teltumbde did not get to meet her eldest son Anand, who languishes in jail. As one of India’s top intellectuals, is he undeserving of even 14-day bail?

At his cremation were present Mama Teltumbde and her surviving children barring the eldest of them, Anand.
