The Hindu Huddle 2026

The 2026 edition of The Hindu Huddle, in Bengaluru, was an intellectually enriching experience that provided a remarkable platform for delegates to engage with an eclectic range of subjects — spanning the complexities of domestic and geopolitics to the nuanced worlds of cinema, art, and music. The event was well-organised, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free experience for all in attendance. It is rare to find such a thoughtful curation of topics under one roof, and the depth of insight provided by the speakers was commendable. One hopes that such vibrant dialogue continues to flourish in our city.

The sessions were well curated and offered an engaging blend of perspectives and discussions. The sessions featuring the actors and the mentalist were particularly refreshing. I especially enjoyed the discussion with the diplomats from the EU and Australia.

It is distressing that Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah unabashedly bemoans the abrogation of Article 370 while, in the same breath, urging the Centre to accord statehood to the newly carved-out Union Territory. He must reconcile himself to the changed realities and accept that the welfare of Jammu and Kashmir can be better served now than under the erstwhile dispensation with Art.370.
