_Did the Greeks Believe in Their Myths? An Essay on the Constitutive Imagination_ (By Paul Veyne) "Believe" is not a natural category. It's an invention of rationalist metaphysics. It bears scant relationship with what anyone actually does.

"Gandhi: The End of Non-Violence" by Manash Firaq Bhattacharjee reviewed in Scroll scroll.in/article/108702…


Historian Mohammad Sajjad reviews my book: "Chapter after chapter, Bhattacharjee brings out moral-philosophical commentaries to interpret the violence, the remorse (and lack of it). Such riveting narrations keep the readers fully absorbed in the book." scroll.in/article/108702…

Thank you, Mohammad, moved and humbled. Look forward to conversations in Delhi.

It was pleasure reading your wonderful book. Will re-read to enjoy once more. It is laced with insights.



Thank you, Mohammad Sajjad (Professor of Modern Indian History, AMU), for this wonderful review: “[This] book helps us rediscover Gandhi... Not many rigorous academic history writings can claim to have such beautiful prose.” scroll.in/article/108702… @sajjadhist @premanka

This Durga Puja learn what Gandhi did for Bengal in 1946-47, and recover from the demonising myths around him. For instance, the Hindu correspondent meeting Gandhi on 20 Nov 1946 “in the evening in his new abode in Srirampur, sitting calmly in a half-burnt house amidst ruins”.

Gangeya Mukherji reviews my book in the current issue of Biblio: “In his timely, and many ways, prescient book, Manash Firaq Bhattacharjee presents an insightful, analytical, yet lucid and compelling narrative of the tragic and crowning year of Gandhi’s life and public career.”
