All books are a journey for the author, but some become a form of pilgrimage. What began as a course on religion in India for a bunch of interdisciplinary undergraduates in India turned into this Oxford India Short Introduction. Available in bookstores a few weeks from now

This is fantastic! Such a wonderful resource for economists and those interested in the history of economics in the Indian context

[Srishti Yadav @Srishting]

A website dedicated to Indian economists of note.

That’s what @CafeEconomics, Arjun Jayadev, Prof Rama Gopal, Maria Bach and I have been working towards for the last 2 yrs. And it’s finally here!

"Stepping into Azim Premji University was a dream come true, but it came with its challenges — adapting to a new environment and overcoming language barriers. Thanks to the supportive faculty and the Language Support Centre, I found my footing.

Beyond academics, the University’s interdisciplinary approach broadened my perspective, allowing me to explore beyond History into Data, Democracy, and Development. The field engagement programme, interactive learning methods and diverse campus initiatives shaped my analytical and communication skills in ways I never imagined.

Today, as a Project Coordinator supporting students from marginalised backgrounds in their academic pursuits, I carry forward the lessons and values the University instilled in me. The journey continues as I now pursue my Master’s in Society and Culture at IIT-Gandhinagar.

I am grateful for the faculty, mentors, and peers who made this transformation possible."

my amazing colleague, @sravUpp speaks with @nandita_j about the 2024 Nobel in Medicine. Loved how clearly she explains the significance of microRNA here

[Nandita J @nandita_j]

2.🪱No human has won over 2 Nobel prizes, but one worm has won 4! @sravUpp tells us about the Medicine #nobelprize2024 that went to Victor Ambros & @gary_ruvkun for their discovery of microRNA.
