#Kolkata: The Bengal vote (West Bengal Assembly Election 2021) is over. And just wait a few hours. Only then will it be clear who will have the power of Bengal in the next five years. Most of the booth return polls (West Bengal Exit Poll Results), however, put Mamata Banerjee’s grassroots ahead. Although the BJP counter-claims, the booth return survey will not match. The BJP will take power with a single majority. Meanwhile, just 24 hours before the announcement of the results, Mithun Chakraborty suddenly appeared in the palace.
On Saturday morning, Mithun went to Raj Bhavan to meet Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar. Naturally, speculations have been made about that meeting. However, according to Mithun, he went to the palace as soon as the governor called. It has also been called a courtesy call on behalf of Raj Bhavan. Although the speculation does not stop there.
Mithun Chakraborty joined the BJP at Narendra Modi’s brigade rally just days before the start of the Bengal Assembly elections. Since then, Geruya Shibir has sent him to public meetings, road shows and other campaigns. Although Mithu did not contest with the ticket. On the contrary, he has spread everywhere from the hills to the plains. However, the ‘Mahaguru’ has tactfully avoided answering the question whether he will be the Chief Minister or the state cabinet. And his arrival at the palace before the results of the vote is undoubtedly considered significant by political experts.
According to sources, Mithun went to the palace at the invitation of the governor. There is a long talk between them. Mithun Chakraborty or Corona is attacked, this news broke on social media last Tuesday. However, actor Mithun Chakraborty dismissed the news of Kovid being positive as a rumor. On the other hand, it is known that actress Mithu Chakraborty, the wife of actor Sabyasachi Chakraborty, has been attacked by Corona. In fact, because Mithun’s name is similar to Mithu’s name and the surnames of the two are the same, many people thought that Mithun was affected by Corona

For first Phase of battery giga factory, we have budgeted Rs 1000 crore investment for the manufacturing plant. This will be still initial manufacturing facility that is not production ready. Production is planned between 2025-2026 when one or many of these battery technologies becomes stable that yield cost and performance benefits. From then on we will continuously bring newer battery technologies with high volume and throughput from Manufacturing facility based out of Bangalore.”
Further government aid in enabling these kind manufacturing capabilities out of India will be of great help. Dr Nagendra Nagaraja suggested “I understand government is eager to help, we are very thankful for that and expect a lot of help from Indian government and Government of Karnataka here. Apart from technology advancement, it will create large number of jobs in manufacturing facility and high-end research jobs in R&D. Value addition of IPs and know how that will be created on Indian Soil will be unmeasurable.”
Further Dr Nagendra Nagaraja added that “Qpivolta, along with Qpicloud (built on data centres based on QpiAI Quantum compute and special hybrid processors) will be two big opex and capex heavy subsidiaries of Qpi Technology. I am aware of kind of operations leadership required in these two companies and we will be nurturing current leadership talent in the Qpi Technology companies and also looking to bring new talents to handle these technology innovations at massive scale.”
On partnership, customers and supply chain Dr Nagendra Nagaraja suggested, “We are expecting major technical breakthrough in later 2022 and early 2023, We would definitely like to partner with major battery suppliers, distributors, electronics OEM and EV manufacturers around the world to ramp up our volumes. We do expect 4-5 variants of batteries for different applications. Since our innovation has great cost, performance benefits and possibilities of world’s best energy density, we do expect robust distribution channels, picking up the end products at volume. But bigger problem will be supply chain, we are working hard to figure that out. There are good amount sources of raw materials we require. We would like to create sources both in India and abroad as priority."
On funding the project Dr Nagendra Nagaraja suggested, “We will easily have parent company Qpi Technology commit full funding required for this project once we have pro-type proven in late next year. We would also look for next level of funding through high quality investors, working capital loans for priority sectors, Advances from customers and government grants. Investments will come via parent company.”

SuperQ technologies India Private limited which is a subsidiary of Qpi Technology comes out of stealth mode with CeNSE (Centre of nano Sciences, IISc) lab access and announces 2 new product lines.
Dr Nagendra Nagaraja, Founder, CEO and Chairman of Qpi Technology and founder of SuperQ announced details about products “We are happy to take wrap out of SuperQ patented High temperature Superconducting Single Photon detector (SSPD), which works at telecom wavelength and will be basic building block of quantum internet, Future telecom networks and many other medical and healthcare applications. This will be available to telecom and healthcare customer for sampling and building their systems by Q1/Q2 of 2022. Superconducting motors is another path breaking product built on SuperQ patented material technology. Both these products are backed by powerful analysis and synthesis setup based on Quantum computing and AI.”
Dr Amlan Mukherjee, Director and Technical lead at SuperQ suggested, “Current SSPD is way costlier for commercial applications, Also they work at 2.5K, which keeps cost of these SSPDs at around 100K USD. With our high temperature SSPD operating at 11k+, we can bring down cost significantly and hence making product viable for Quantum network, telecom applications and medical application. We have created great IP, now eager to put it in the hands of customer sooner with good help from IISc and CeNSE ecosystem.” Further details of the product and technology can be found on website https://superquantum.tech
High temperature superconducting motors can improve motor efficiency by 30-50%. First application is in shipping industry. Challenges that SuperQ solving is that of cooling system in a dynamic device like motors. If it goes mainstream can change the entire applications spectrum for commodity industrial motors to motors in EVs. SuperQ patent technology will have to evolve for longer time to reach commercial applications at higher volumes. But Dr Nagendra Nagaraja suggests, “With our expertise in Quantum computing and Materials, we may fundamentally redesign motors to make it work with high temperature superconductors. There is a fundamental innovation that we will deliver here.”
On further funding to scale SuperQ, Dr Nagendra Nagaraja suggested that “Qpi Technology the parent company of SuperQ is committed to fund entire prototype effort of up to $1-1.5 million USD and beyond if required. During scaling of the products, funding is expected to come from initial advances from customers, funding from Qpi technology and working capital loans”.

‘White Tiger’ is a brilliant film, but it doesn’t get everything right. Why did the film end up being a hit-or-miss? What makes the film not perfect?
‘White Tiger’ arrived in our lives with much fanfare. However, very early on, critics caught onto something that just didn’t sit right with them. Despite brilliant performances and a story that has got the author a Booker, ‘White Tiger’ won’t be one of the award shows’ forerunners next season. Why is that? Where did this seminal movie go wrong?
Highlights —
‘White Tiger’ is one of the best films to come out of modern India
What makes ‘White Tiger’ work, and what makes it not work?
Is ‘White Tiger’ the Netflix film that would further its Indian participation
The story behind the story
‘White Tiger’ made splashes on Indian bookshelves after winning the Man Booker Prize. Not only was it a book very close to India’s soul, it discussed problems with money and caste that permeates Indian society but isn’t discussed often. Through a life of pain, servitude, and torture, the main character, Balram, has to figure his way into the higher echelons of Indian society.
However, even back then, people were sceptical about what the story being told was.
“There is an absence of human complexity in “The White Tiger”, not just in its characters but, more problematically, in its depiction of a nation that is, in reality, caught somewhere between Adiga’s vision and the shinier version he so clearly — and fittingly — derides”.
‘White Tiger’ is one of the best films to come out of modern India
‘White Tiger’ is not a problematic film, and it tries to capture the problems in modern India through the lens of a disenfranchised man. However, Adiga and the filmmaker are not interested in Balram so much as they’re interested in the country’s overwhelming story.
The ‘White Tiger’s’ missed opportunity lies in fleshing out the characters and giving the story something to hold onto. And in doing so, it creates a narrative that doesn’t look too good on screen.
Film language
One of the most potent scenes in a recent DC movie, ‘Batman Versus Superman’, comes when Bruce Wayne has to rush back into falling debris to save a child. It’s a showcase of how in the world of Gods, men can suddenly feel useless and lost.
While Bahrani is a much more capable filmmaker than Snyder by far, his film language often lacks the story’s force. Take, for example, the opening scene. Instead of focusing on the stark differences between the wealthy areas of Delhi and its poorest ones, he chooses to create a set of joy.

Of course, as a conscious choice made for the western audience, it is not bad. However, ‘The White Tiger’ does not belong to the Americans alone. The story about India featuring Indians is moulded into something that the Americans can digest, and that’s the most problematic approach in the film.
Often, the dialogues are stunted, and Bahrani is pleased to skirt around the book’s central thesis, which points out the prominent caste discrimination throughout Indian life. When the book was released, it was heavily critiqued for being “poverty porn”, focusing on the older India, which was entrenched in poverty and not the modern India of start-ups and increasing money.
However, Adiga rightly stuck with his central thesis and made a point to disparage the reviewers falling back to the stereotypical ideas of modern India.
‘The White Tiger’ content lacks these ideas, having the story moulded for the American audience and catering to them throughout. So, the jittery conflict centred around multiple intersections in Balram’s life becomes passe, and a more straightforward central narrative is promoted.
Hollywood and India
No ‘The White Tiger’ review can be written without discussing Hollywood. Americans and foreign nationals, in general, have an obsession with a dual idea of India. On the one hand, there’s been the big promotion of the idea of a poor India (look at ‘Slumdog Millionaire’) and on the other hand, it’s a place of mystics and yoga (looking at you ‘Eat. Pray. Love’).
Adiga’s novel was set to prove both of these notions as untrue. It was focused on discrimination and how it intersects with the rich lives that people live. However, the movie industry likes simple narratives, so that’s what ‘The White Tiger’ falls back to.
Video Credits: Netflix
Arvind Adiga is a prominent author, and Netflix has done an excellent service by finally adapting him in a climate that keeps getting political. We need to ask, though, if only appealing to the foreign film-watchers is enough. Would an Indian watching this get an accurate view of the country? Netflix has written a good film but failed to put it in the proper context.
‘The White Tiger’ has many things that you can love about it. However, it’s not a new narrative that you can go back to and enjoy. While Balram and Pinky might be archetypes we see in real life, the society they live in is quite different from that of the film.
