Nature of a new politics of hurt sentiments. @Javedakhtarjadu My take. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…
My essay was titled "The Limitless 'Bangladeshi' and the limits of 'Bengali:' A history of Bengali language in greater Bengal" before some unethical editorial decisions from @ThePrintIndia. At least they kept the body intact. theprint.in/opinion/whats-…
Scroll published a second excerpt from my book to remember Gandhi in Calcutta in August 1947. scroll.in/article/108574…
At The Nehru Centre, we celebrated the launch of “Gandhi: The End of Non-Violence.” Ashis Nandy chaired, @Ahmed1Hilal & Vinay Lal shared reflections, and author @manasharya took us through the making of the book.
The Telegraph picks my book among others for readers to buy and read this Independence Day. “A timely meditation on the price of peace, it asks whether nonviolence can survive in a fractured world.” (To ask a question is to provoke a fresh answer.)
#IndependenceDay2025 | Figures like #Gandhi, #Nehru & #Ambedkar were produced by the anticolonial struggle, where they did politics & produced a reading public that contributed to the making of India’s politically conscious civil society. | 🖊️@manasharya frontline.thehindu.com/politics/yogen…
My short story, ‘Zinnias in the Graveyard’, which won third prize (sharing it with Brecht De Poortere) at the Hudson Review Short Story competition 2024-25. It has finally been published in the Summer 2025 issue of the Hudson Review. hudsonreview.com/2025/08/zinnia…
Good to see my book mentioned in today's pre-Independence Day supplement edition of The Telegraph among "titles to know the history and spirit of India".
The Nehru Centre welcomes you to my book release and discussion by a fantastic panel to be held at Jawahar Bhavan on 19th August at 5pm. Please come, and tell those who might be interested. See you.
Pleased to share that my book, 'In Praise of Coalition Politics and Other Essays on Indian Democracy' has been published by @speakingtiger14 It’s now available in bookstores near you, on Amazon as well as on the publisher's website. A collection of my writings and…

Made a chance visit to MIDLAND BOOKSTORE at Aurobindo Market and learnt to my pleasant surprise that they have already sold 50 copies of 'Gandhi: The End of Nonviolence' (Penguin, Vintage). Signed coupla remaining copies. You'll meet a Gandhi in this book you haven't met before.
Before a propagandist film comes and distorts history, it is expected thinking people will engage with the critical scholarship on that history, even if it breaks ideological territories. The mess must be honestly addressed without apprehension. Who leads the debate matters.

My review of Professor Manash Firaq Bhattacharjee's @manasharya latest book for The Tribune @thetribunechd tribuneindia.com/news/book-revi…
Heartwarming review in The Tribune by a history scholar in SOAS, Madav Nayar: "It is precisely by skillfully navigating and unpacking the messiness of history that Bhattacharjee is able to shed new light on Gandhian non-violence." @premanka tribuneindia.com/news/book-revi…
