"Every era of political dominance creates the seeds of its own downfall." Just the kind of reminder we need. Sharp as always. Inspiring.

"Hegemonic parties sustain their power by convincing people of their invincibility." If you propagate that the idea of India is dead, the majority of Hindus are irredeemably bigoted & the BJP can't be defeated, you are an useful idiot of the BJP. My piece theprint.in/opinion/what-m…

What makes Modi's BJP invincible? The cynicism that India is dead

The anti-CAA movement didn’t pose any political challenge to BJP. It’s the hope it generated that was dangerous — the idea that ordinary people could believe in a better India.

It was a magical, deeply consoling experience to visit Kitab Khana yesterday - the contractors, carpenters, glaziers and painters hard at work, readying the bookstore for its reopening - and to sign copies of my new book. @KitabKhanaBooks @Amritasomaiya1 @PenguinIndia @richaburm

Options: spend a decade thinking and reading deeply about the early history of India, and going to all the key places. Or read this 250 page book, INDIANS, by someone who has done the work. An extraordinary feat of imaginative framing, achieved through close observation.
