Here is the link to the entire symposium with contributions from Geetanjali Srikantan, Theunis Roux, and myself, along with Mathew John's response. nomos-elibrary.de/de/document/vi…

I write in a @WCL_VRU book symposium on India’s Communal Constitution. Against Mathew John’s well-meaning critique, I clarify and recover the much-reviled older idea of secular nationalism animating the constitutional project. nomos-elibrary.de/document/downl…

Out next month! In these conversations, Romila Thapar and Namit Arora navigate the fraught battleground of India’s past. What emerges is a powerful reminder that approaching history in all its complexity is a radical act in an age determined to simplify it into comforting myths.

Not a rage baiter but couldn’t resist this one. For all the elaichi in biryani haters, here is a recipe from a Mughal cookbook that is explicitly named elaichi biryani (zerbiryan) and uses cardamom as the base.

Very excited to receive this new book by @KuipersNicholas. Using an impressive mix of methods, and drawing on a range of cases from Asia, Nick examines how unequal bureaucracies can impede the complex task of nation building. A must read!

An arresting portrait of Mahakavi Subramania Bharathi features in my @frontline_india article on the Self-Respect Movement. I identify the Mahakavi and other important thinkers & reformers as those who created an environment for the Self-Respect Movement to germinate.
