Billionaire Nirmal Sethia doesn't read books, so why is he funding a Agatha Christie exhibition?
Agatha Christie wrote a great many mystery novels in her time but probably none as baffling as The Strange Case of the Indian Entrepreneur . Eastern Eye asked Nirmal Sethia: Have you read any of Agatha Christies novels? His reply was typical of the billionaire who ranked 4th in Eastern Eye s Asian Rich List 2026 with a net value of 6.8 billion: Im not educated, Im matric fail. And yet he is sponsoring the British Librarys exhibition, Agatha Christie: A World of Mystery , to mark 50 years since the authors death on 12 January 1976 at the age of 85. As the director of numerous companies, Sethia described his main interests in the following manner in 2017: We are involved in security printing, sugar refining, banking I am on the board of a bank in Dubai we are involved in small power generation, in real estate, but 50 per cent of my time goes on tea because I love my tea. The clue is the word, tea. Agatha Christie boarding the EET Salon at lunchtime on the train from Bulawayo to the Cape. In 1922 Agatha Christie set sail on a 10-month voyage around the world. Her husband Archie had been invited to join a trade mission to promote the British Empire Exhibition and Agatha was determined to go with him The Christie Archive Trust The British Library has announced that the Agatha Christie exhibition is taking place, with thanks to Newby Teas. And Sethia is the man behind Newby Teas, which is a luxury brand. Tea figures frequently in Christies novels, and the Queen of Crime herself loved her tea, probably the strong brands from Assam. Her famous creation, Miss (Jane) Marple, was also fond of tea. However, her Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, preferred hot chocolate and syrups. Newby Teas, Sethia confirmed in an interview with Eastern Eye , is owed by his family charities its owned 45 per cent by the N Sethia Foundation, and 55 per cent by N Sethia Trust. According to the British Library, Newby is a London-based luxury tea brand sourcing exceptional teas from the worlds finest regions. Packed in its carbon-neutral factory, profits support charitable causes through the N Sethia Foundation. Newby is served by prestigious hospitality destinations worldwide. Agatha Christie under a tree on Honolulu beach after surfing, 1922. Agatha and her husband Archie were permitted to take a short holiday away from the 1922 trade mission and chose Honolulu where they learnt how to surf on longboards. Here Agatha purchased a surf suit in the local style, better suited to the demands of surfing than her swim attire for bathing in Torquay. The Christie Archive Trust The tea is carefully packed at a plant in Calcutta (now Kolkata) so that it retains its distinctive flavour. Sethia gets very cross with people who put milk into their tea. Although Sethia claims he does not read any books, his charity makes a point of supporting education in the widest sense. Christies books, he said, are literature. Its part of education. Literature is imagination, and that capability can only come when wisdom is invoked. There is a mission to allow people to understand the fantasy of literature and the capability of writing. For his support for books, Sethia said that has been bestowed honorary life membership of the Friends of the National Libraries. This is a registered charity founded in 1931 that supports the British Library, the National Library of Scotland and the National Library of Wales and other libraries in the UK recognised as being of national importance. Its chief patron is King Charles, who took on the position in 2016 when he was still the Prince of Wales. Agatha Christie relaxing during a sightseeing tour, Tajoura, Libya, 1955. Agatha and her second husband, archaeologist Max Mallowan had invited Agatha's daughter Rosalind and grandson Mathew to join them on a tour of the ancient sites of Leptis Magna and Sabratah during December 1955. The Christie Archive Trust I couldnt refuse, said Sethia. The honour came from His majesty. Sethia has also been named ambassador of peace by the UN because of $50m sent to Africa by his charity to tackle cholera and other childrens diseases. He has also built two Tirupathi temples in India in Delhi and in Kurukshetra, respectively. Sethia, who was born in Calcutta on November 8, 1941, took over part of the family empire when his father, Sohan Lalji Sethia, died in 1967. His father was born on 5 September 1913 in Sujangargh, Rajasthan; graduated from Presidency College Calcutta, one of the foremost institutions of higher education in India; and had a very successful business career in the jute industry. His entrepreneurial vision and innovation won him international recognition in the business community. His son first came to London as a boy (my pay was 7 shillings a week), returned to Calcutta at 16, and then came back to London in 1966. He was deeply affected by the death of his wife, Chitra, in London, in 2010, after 41 years of marriage. Much of his charitable work is in her memory. Kenneth Branagh as Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express, 2017 20th Century Studios Sethia is the founder of the N Sethia Foundation, while his daughter Richa is a trustee. The mystery of how he came to support the Christie exhibition was further unravelled by Aneta Aslakhanova, the global marketing director of Newby Teas. She said both the British Library and Newby Teas are both members of Walpole, the organisation that represents British luxury brands. They approached us and we said yes, she said. Tea occurs frequently in Agatha Christies novels. Tea is used to create a deceptive English sense of ease and comfort in her novels. However, strong tea, containing tannins, often disguises the fatal poison. She mentioned Christies The Harlequin Tea Set , a collection of nine short stories. Another collection, Partners in Crime , has a story called A Pot of Tea . Still from Murder on the Orient Express, 2017 20th Century Studios There is this passage in A Pocket Full of Rye : There was no doubt but that Mr Fortescue was very seriously ill. Even as she came up to him, his body was convulsed in a painful spasmodic movement. Words came out in jerky gasps. Teawhat the hellyou put in the teaget helpquick get a doctor. Tea makes for the perfect English murder. The word tea is used 113 times in A Pocket Full of Rye , 46 times in 4.50 From Paddington and 35 times in At Bertrams Hotel . One of the most famous mentions of tea in a Christie novel comes from Griselda in The Murder at the Vicarage : What are you doing this afternoon, Griselda? My duty, said Griselda. My duty as the Vicaress. Tea and scandal at four-thirty. In The Pale Horse , Christie used thallium mixed into a tea service. Her description of thallium poisoning symptomsspecifically lethargy and hair losswas so scientifically accurate that it later helped real-life doctors correctly diagnose and save a real poisoning victim. Still from And Then There Were None, 2015, BBC Agatha Christie Limited In The Moving Finger , a lethal dose of strychnine is hidden inside a tea cake. Strychnine is exceptionally bitter, requiring sweet, baked goods to disguise the taste. In The Hollow , the killer uses afternoon tea to administer deadly digitalis (derived from the foxglove plant). Sethia is wondering whether there should be a Newby Teas ceremony to inaugurate the exhibition. The British Library said the exhibition, will go behind the books to explore how Christies life, travels and interests informed her work and the creation of her iconic characters. Through personal objects belonging to Christie, many of which have never been displayed before, visitors will gain unprecedented insight into her writing process and explore her impact on crime fiction. Accompanying the exhibition will be displays and a major events season celebrating Christies influence on literature at libraries across the UK. Still from And Then There Were None, 2015, BBC Agatha Christie Limited Lucy Rowland, lead curator of the exhibition, which will run from 30 October 2026 20 June 2027, said: The biggest exhibition held in the UK in almost 25 years to celebrate Christies writing, visitors will see over 100 items from different periods in her life, drawn from the British Librarys own collection, the Christie Archive Trust and other lenders, including material never displayed before. Her impact on crime fiction as a genre has been immense and this exhibition will take visitors back to Christies childhood and explore her journey to becoming an iconic writer, while celebrating how adaptions of her novels for stage and screen continue to enthral audiences today, over 50 years after her death. Great Western Railway is also a sponsor. Still from And Then There Were None, 2015, BBC Agatha Christie Limited Amanda Burns, sales and marketing director at Great Western Railway (GWR), said: Agatha Christie and Great Western Railway share a story that stretches back over a century. Her love of train travel and the journeys she took between London and the South West helped inspire some of the most celebrated crime fiction ever written. This partnership is an opportunity to connect people with the places Christie loved: Torquay, Dartmouth and the Devon coastline, and inspire travel between the South West and London, just as she did. Giving details of what is in store for visitors, the British Library said: The exhibition will take visitors on a journey through Christies upbringing, her interests and travels and how she adapted her novels for the stage, through five immersive sections filled with items from her personal life, including her typewriter, professional and personal correspondence with other writers, family photographs and notebooks and typescripts for novels. There will also be clues and Easter eggs dotted throughout the exhibition for Christie fans to sleuth out. Christies impact on the wider crime fiction genre will be explored through interviews within the exhibition with leading writers, broadcasters and notable fans. Agatha Christies Remington typewriter from 1937 The Christie Archive Trust In the section, The Country House, visitors will gain an insight into Christies childhood and adolescence through exploring the quintessential setting for many of her novels, the English country house. Visitors will see early examples of her writing and discover how her upbringing inspired the settings for her works, from her first published novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920) with the iconic drawing room reveal, and her bestselling And Then There Were None (1939). On display will be photographs of Christie as a child, spending time with her family at their home, Ashfield and roller skating with friends. This section will also explore her beginnings as a young writer, from the typescript for her first short story, House of Beauty, to a notebook from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle illustrating Sherlocks method for solving mysteries and feedback on her work from acclaimed writer Dorothy L. Sayers. Agatha Christies Remington typewriter from 1937 The Christie Archive Trust This is followed by a section called The dispensary: During the First World War Christie volunteered as a nurse and pharmacy dispenser, honing a knowledge of drugs and toxins which would later prove invaluable to a crime writer. Visitors will explore a dispensary filled with the poisons that crop up in Christies work, displayed with the study notes for her pharmaceutical exams taken in 1917 and her World War One service record. The year 1914 also marked when Christie married her first husband, Archie, and there will be letters from him, alongside her notebooks containing ideas for stories and handwritten research notes on poisons including those for her novel The Pale Horse which has been credited for saving lives in the real world. Agatha Christies study notes for her pharmaceutical exam taken in 1917 The Christie Archive Trust Next is The Train: On leaving the dispensary, visitors will board an Orient Express-inspired train carriage that will evoke the glamour and intrigue of 1920s travel while also exploring Christies use of the closed circle mystery, perfect for stories set in enclosed compartments. Christie was a keen rail enthusiast and this section will explore how her experiences journeying abroad and sharp observations of fellow travellers inspired her writing and helped form the characters and settings for some of her most famous novels, including Murder on the Orient Express . The inter-war years were busy for Christie as she published over 30 novels, including the career-making The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, renegotiated a new publishing contract and spent 10 months travelling across the world with her first husband, Archie Christie. On display will be photographs capturing Christie surfing in Hawaii in 1922 alongside a replica of the surfboard she used, Christies hand-written notes for her Isle of Man treasure hunt and a letter written by Christie relaying her journey on the Orient Express in 1931. Letter from Agatha Christie to her second husband Max Mallowan, in December 1930. Agatha writes to Max describing her return home from their honeymoon, on the Orient Express. Documenting how the train had been halted by floods and her fellow travellers' reactions, this event would inspire her to write Murder on the Orient Express a few years later. The Christie Archive Trust This is followed by The dig: After disembarking from the train visitors will find themselves at the site of an archaeological dig in the 1930s, a time that marked Christies second marriage to archaeologist Max Mallowan and her most prolific writing period. While Christie and her novels are associated with the English countryside, her experiences taking photographs and supporting the work of archaeologists on digs in Iraq and Syria from the 1930s informed novels like Murder in Mesopotamia and They Came to Baghdad. On display will be Christies plot notes for both novels alongside the 1937 Remington typewriter she used to write And Then There Were None , along with the cine film footage taken by Christie documenting her life on the digs and her Leica camera used for photographing artefacts, including one of the earliest known portrait sculptures, discovered on an excavation led by Max. Cover of typescript ofHouse of Beauty, Agatha Christies first short story written when she was just a teenager. The Christie Archive Trust The fifth and final section is The Theatre: Visitors will then travel to the glittering West End of the 1950s for the final section, that will explore Christies work adapting her novels for stage productions that delighted post-war audiences looking for escapism and intrigue, making her the most successful female playwright of all time. Visitors will discover how she adapted her style and plots for the stage, from her notes for Witness for the Prosecution to rare footage of Christie at The Mousetrap celebrations, the typescript for Curtain: Poirots Last Case and the Dictaphone she used in later life to transcribe her first drafts for stories, such as Endless Night (1967). Screen adaptations also brought Christies iconic detectives to wider audiences and this section features posters and costumes from film and TV adaptions over the recent decades, including Ariadne Oliver (portrayed by Zo Wanamaker)s coat from Dead Mans Folly (2013) offering visitors the chance to reflect on her impact across the crime genre from literature and theatre to film and TV. Box for Tabloid Veronal tablets,1910-1940 Science Museum Group James Prichard, CEO and Chairman of Agatha Christie Limited and Agatha Christies great-grandson, said: We are delighted to be partnering with the British Library for this major exhibition dedicated to my great grandmothers extraordinary life and works.

Beyond the Classrooms of OTC: Memory, Camaraderie, and the Lessons of Jaipur (1998)
Looking back at a photograph from May 1998 brings me straight to the Rajasthan Institute of Public Administration (RIPA)formerly known as the Officers Training College (OTC) in Jaipur. With its sprawling campus and fine accommodation, it closely mirrored our own IMPA back home in Jammu & Kashmir. Our delegation had gathered for specialised training in satellite imagery for land records and modern surveying, transitioning away from traditional manual mapping. We were also trained in Disaster Managementa subject rendered unforgettable by Prof. Hassan, the Head of Department, whose mesmerising lectures left an enduring mark. Over the years, Prof. Hassan became a dear family friend. I remain deeply indebted to his immense kindness in 2014 when, upon my request, he and a team of notable Jaipur business figures personally travelled to Kashmir during the devastating floods to distribute relief items across parts of Dal Lake and beyond. Beyond the formal curriculum, in-service training programs serve an irreplaceable purpose. They grant mid-career professionals a vital interlude to refresh their technical skill set while fostering cross-cultural exposure through regional exploration. We learned directly from distinguished officers of the Rajasthan cadreincluding Commissioners and District Collectorsand spent a remarkable day engaging with the late Professor Dhawan, former ISRO Chairman. Our field studies split us into small teams across Collector offices and record centers. To our surprise, much of Rajasthans historical land settlement record was preserved in Urdu, almost identical to our J&K records save for a few regional designations. However, during our visit to the Jaipur District record room, the registers were so thick with dust that we had to abandon our study of the Jamabandi (record of rights). Deeply embarrassed by the inconvenience caused to visiting officers, the young IAS Deputy Commissionerhimself a native of Kashmirsuspended the record keeper on the spot. Then came the sweltering May heat, an overwhelming shock to those of us accustomed to the cooler Valley breeze. Four of us were sharing an air-conditioned hut. One morning, my colleague Mr. Maqbool Wani (then Assistant Commissioner) caught me in a rather ridiculous struggle: attempting to shave with my body inside the air-conditioned bedroom and my face leaning into the sweltering washroom, whose exhaust fan had broken down. Taking pity on me, Mr. Wani went to the local market, bought a small handheld mirror, and solved our daily dilemma. That trip also bore witness to a quiet personal triumph inside our shared hut. Our colleague Mr. Hafiz was a heavy smoker, and during the early hours of the morning, the closed AC room would fill with thick smoke, leaving a stale air that made me feel deeply nauseous. Realising the intense discomfort it caused us, Hafiz Sahaba true gentlemandecided then and there, on my insistence, to give up smoking entirely. He made a solemn promise that morning, and remarkably, that truce holds to this very day. Our weekends offered rich cultural excursions across Rajasthans heritage landscape. We embarked on a full-day trip to Ajmer Sharif Dargah, the celebrated 13th-century shrine of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. Renowned for its breathtaking Indo-Islamic architecture, grand deg-chi (cauldrons) for community feasts, and spiritual serenity, the shrine attracts millions seeking peace. As we gathered for Friday Jumu'ah prayers, I was momentarily startled by the sudden, sharp boom of a cannon shota traditional local custom fired to notify devotees that prayer is commencing. Unfamiliar with this practice, I stood numb for a second until my colleague, Mr. Hafiz Bakhshi, clarified the source of the bang. From Ajmer, we proceeded to the serene shores of Pushkar Lake and visited the sacred Brahma Templeone of the extremely rare shrines in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma. Other holidays were spent exploring Jaipurs majestic hill forts, the iconic facade of the Hawa Mahal, and the legendary Raj Mandir Cinemaa movie palace world-famous for its opulent, meringue-style interior architecturewhere we enjoyed Dilip Kumars film Qila. We also visited Jaipurs famed Albert Hall Museum, a masterpiece of Indo-Saracenic design opened in 1887. Housing rare Persian carpets, intricate metalware, and ancient stone sculptures, its grand halls provided us with a vivid window into Indias rich artistic history. The trip yielded curious memories tooincluding a colleague who purchased a massive, monolithic marble replica of the Taj Mahal and arranged for its transport back home to Jammu. Looking at the photograph today brings both warmth and a touch of sadness. Time has claimed several dear colleagues pictured there: Mr. Hafiz-ur-Rehman (retired Assistant Commissioner), a gentleman par excellence; Mr. Katoch and Sardar Mohan Singh Wazir, both retired Tehsildars; and Dr. Kavida, the then-Director of RIPA. May their souls rest in eternal peace. None of these transformative experiences would have been possible without the vision of our then Financial Commissioner, Madam Sushma Choudharythe first lady IAS officer of the erstwhile Jammu & Kashmir state. She was instrumental in arranging multiple specialised training programs for young revenue officers of our batch, continually pushing us toward modern administrative excellence. We remain deeply grateful to her for her foresight and leadership. May her legacy live on.

One lakh jobs in next 6 months, declares Yogi
In a major announcement, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on August 25 that the state government will issue appointment letters to one lakh young people over the next six months.In his speech at an appointment letter distribution programme, the CM highlighted the govt's record on recruitment since 2017. He said more than 9.30 lakh government jobs had been provided in Uttar Pradesh over the past nine-and-a-half years. He claimed that none of these appointments had faced a challenge in the recruitment process.The CM was speaking at an event in Lucknow where appointment letters were handed over to 3,446 technical assistants and 126 market secretaries.The chief minister said the government would issue appointment letters to the next batch of one lakh candidates on a weekly basis during the coming six months. The announcement comes as employment and recruitment remain important political issues in the state.Also read | Gadkari says cant work much now after 30 yrs serviceAdityanath contrasted the current recruitment process with the system that existed before 2017, alleging that government vacancies were then affected by corruption, delays and political interference.He said recruitment advertisements were often followed by prolonged uncertainty, with candidates waiting for results and courts eventually intervening.According to the chief minister, the problem was not a lack of merit among young people but alleged corruption within recruitment bodies and government institutions. He said selecting candidates transparently and without discrimination allows the state to make better use of its human resources.Adityanath also linked the governments recruitment policy to its stated zero-tolerance approach towards crime and corruption.He said the administration would continue its action against organised networks involved in examination cheating and promised strict punishment for those running such operations.The chief minister also sought to address concerns over sugar availability in Uttar Pradesh. He said the state does not face a sugar shortage and has sufficient stocks to meet domestic requirements.Also read | Rajasthan HCs school reset: Junk food, screensUttar Pradesh consumes about four lakh tonnes of sugar a month, while the state currently has around 28 lakh tonnes in stock, Adityanath said. This, he added, amounts to roughly seven months of supply.He added that sugar mills are expected to resume operations from October 15, with the state projected to produce another 90 lakh tonnes of sugar.Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh has the production capacity to meet its own requirements and contribute to supplies for the wider country.The chief minister also pointed to overseas employment opportunities for workers from the state. He said countries including Japan, Germany and Israel were showing interest in recruiting young people from Uttar Pradesh.Adityanath said around 5,000 workers from the state had already gone to Israel for employment and were earning about Rs 1.5 lakh a month, with food and accommodation provided.He also used the occasion to compare the states current situation with conditions before 2017. Adityanath said Uttar Pradesh had previously faced problems involving migration, farmer distress, concerns over women's safety and the influence of criminal groups.The chief minister said the governments focus on recruitment, law and order and employment opportunities was aimed at changing that perception and creating more opportunities for the states young population.
The campaign has also seen confrontations on the ground. A CJP team, including co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka, was allegedly assaulted during a recent visit to a government school in Rajasthan. The CJP accused BJP workers of carrying out the attack, a charge

Srinagar, Aug 24:Authorities have issued a child-safety advisory to schools and madrasas across Srinagar, directing them to ensure that students are handed over only to their parents or authorised drivers and attendants after classes. The advisory calls for heightened vigilance during the dispersal of students and instructs educational institutions not to release children into the custody of unauthorised individuals. Young children have also been advised not to leave school or madrasa premises on their own.

'One Nation, One Election' possible if Constitution amended, states agree
Holding simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha and state assemblies in 2029 under the Modi government's 'One Nation, One Election' initiative is possible if the Constitution is amended and state governments support the move, according to PP Chaudhary, the chairman of the joint parliamentary panel examining the related bills. The Constitution (129th Amendment) Bill, 2024, and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which aim to synchronise Lok Sabha and state assembly polls, were sent to the 31-member joint committee of Parliament headed by Chaudhary, a BJP MP from Rajasthan, following the Opposition's demand for broader scrutiny. When asked if state assembly elections could be held alongside the 2029 Lok Sabha polls, Chaudhary said on Monday that if the constitutional amendment is approved in Parliament by 2028, the rollout of 'One Nation, One Election' can begin that same year. Then what is the problem. If the states express their desire in 2029, because we can't give

Filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi has spoken about his shelved film based on the Battle of Saragarhi and alleged that Karan Johar and Akshay Kumars Kesari affected the prospects of his project. Santoshi claimed that his film, which featured Randeep Hooda in the lead, was already being made when Kesari was announced and eventually released on the same historical subject. Talking about his vision for the project, Santoshi said he wanted to make an authentic and realistic film. We wanted to make an honest and real film. We had an audition, real Sardars. The people who had not touched the blood had auditioned them. We had them ready. We had a shoot in the 20 days, in Ganga Nagar, in Rajasthan. Santoshi also praised Randeep Hooda for his dedication to the role and his transformation for the film. He said, Randeep Hooda is a great actor, a great man. He had completely become a Sardar after growing a beard. The filmmaker then addressed the making of Kesari, which starred Akshay Kumar and was produced by Karan Johar. Santoshi said he felt the makers should have approached him before making a film on the same subject, especially since his project was already in production. He said, In the industry, they have made Kesari. Karan Johar and Akshay Kumar made it. At least, they should have asked us. The industry is one family. Santoshi further claimed that the release of Kesari affected his films prospects with OTT and satellite platforms. According to him, people from these platforms who had been discussing his project backed out because they preferred to work with a major producer and a major star. He explained, When they made Kesari, the OTT and satellite and digital people, whom we were talking to, backed out. Because Akshay Kumar is a very big star and Karan Johar is a very big producer. They knew that they would make a film quickly and release it, so our business would not work. Santoshi alleged that this eventually left his project stuck despite having already completed 20 days of shooting. So, my picture, it got stuck. After 20 days of shooting, the picture was shut down, he said. His remarks shed light on the challenges faced by filmmakers when two projects based on the same historical event are developed simultaneously, particularly when one involves a major Bollywood star and a leading production house.
