Umar Khalid is the right answer!
Just wanted to say I’m really proud of the people in #Bengaluru who showed up in solidarity, coming together to read from the book “Umar Khalid & His World.” These are the books he recommends we read!
Grateful to @anarrain, @Ram_Guha, Prof. Janaki Nair & @prakashraaj for their enriching reflections on the book and the times we live in.
Kudos to @BanOrAnir, @banojyotsna, and Shuddhabrata Sengupta for the tremendous effort in bringing this anthology to life!
Appreciate @bicblr and @BlrCityPolice for standing by and ensuring that a peaceful reading and discussion of the book could take place, despite opposition.
