Super twist in the plot
A bunch of new films and shows is exploring the idea that the ‘superhero’ might be a proto-fascistA villain teaming up with heroes is nothing new for the superhero genre. But recent episodes of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier have gone beyond. Zemo goes so far as to say that Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman), the show’s super-soldier villain, is a “supremacist”. This latest gambit by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier isn’t entirely original; Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel Watchmen (1986) also featured superheroes becoming tools for white supremacy. Easy laughThe two latest entrants to this genre are the Netflix film Thunder Forceand the Amazon Prime Video animated series Invincible.

The philatelic lives of Dr. Ambedkar
Ambedkar was honoured by the Indian Posts and Telegraphs Department with a commemorative stamp. This stamp marks the modest and tentative entry of Ambedkar into the philatelic world. In the 25th year of Independence, in 1973, the Posts and Telegraphs Department issued another commemorative stamp that addresses him as Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. Transformed imageBetween 1966 and 1973, Ambedkar had transformed from a “leading” contributor to the Constitution into its “architect.” The 1973 stamp also marks the broadening of the philatelic imagination of Ambedkar that now associated him with not only the Constitution, but also Parliament. This marks the closure of the philatelic imagination of Ambedkar in relation to the Constitution and Parliament.
