My son, Saha (not aware of the original story by Senthil Jeganathan's mazhaikkan) read in English translated by @AnjanaShekar He was just ranting today the pain and anger that he got from Cotton Fever. @mozhispaces A good indicator of translation - https://t.co/agyB8cDS9s

Mozhi is an amazing initiative by @priyamvada_ram and @artisuch I hope this becomes a flourishing space for young translators

1/8. Was Independence the gift of a few Oxbridge elites? As Gandhi put it, not great men, but ‘the people themselves are the cause’ of revolutions. My book The Last Heroes: Footsoldiers of Indian Freedom (Penguin) out in November, looks at 16 such people.
