At once urban history, ethnography, and memoir, @aampannaa's book is an exploration of reading, public space and belonging. It also asks what a city loses when its most vibrant and democratic spaces are pushed aside.

Read this today. Liked it. Wishing there were more such graphic novels coming out of South Asia.

From cooks and sailors to planters and owners of large businesses, #Goans were a prominent part of life in Zanzibar from 1865 to 1910.

"The novella's fragmented structure is one of its greatest strengths. Rather than following a single linear narrative, it unfolds through stories that span generations."

Lovely review here for Muddasir Ramzan's challenging new work here by @AzeefaFathima in @thenewsminute!

Book review @NewIndianXpress

Through an insightful narrative, the book uncovers the glaring political and religious fault lines beneath the region’s thriving, picturesque surface. An analytical biography of Rajasthan, From Dynasties to Democracy is a book that every serious reader of Indian politics should read.

“When a glacier vanishes, we don’t just lose ice. We lose memory, stability, culture, whole communities, futures & civilisations.”

If glaciers could speak, @anuragmaloo believes, they would ask us one question: Why did you take so long to listen?

This is just a beginning of the reading list. And we would love to add your suggestions to it. Which other classics would you add to this reading list?

How queer is the literary canon? It depends on how it has been read, and by whom.

This Pride Month, we’re revisiting a handful of familiar classic texts that have inspired queer readings.

Which other classics would you add to this reading list? 🧵👇
