Quick Glance: Joe Lieberman, Former US Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate, Passes Away at 82
  • Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut, who came close to winning the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket with Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election and nearly became running mate to Republican John McCain eight years later, has passed away.

  • His advocacy for issues such as gay rights, civil rights, abortion rights, and environmental causes often earned him praise from many liberals, despite causing discontent among Democrats due to his independent stance and provocations towards Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign.

  • Renowned for his firm foreign policy perspectives, pro-defense inclinations, and robust support for environmental matters, Lieberman was instrumental in the legislative efforts leading to the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

Quick Glance: Controversial Biography of Swatantrya Veer Savarkar
  • The film portrays Savarkar as the neglected hero of history, projecting him as a Hindutva ideologue who aimed to advance Indian independence early.

  • Criticism is directed towards the portrayal of Gandhi as stubborn, superficial, and lenient towards the British, while Savarkar is depicted as visionary and extreme.

  • The biography focuses on bolstering Savarkar's image and emphasizing his legacy, while casting Gandhi and the Congress party in a negative light.

  • Viewed as high-value propaganda, the film links Savarkar's simplified Hindutva beliefs to current political issues.
