Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

Ilyas Chattha’s excellent new book on a hitherto completely ignored part of Pakistan’s history is now finally available to Pakistani readers. Thanks to @BilalZahuur and Folio Books for printing an affordable local edition.

Reasons to use an em dash:

1) reclaim it from the machines
2) you don't know what a semicolon is for
3) it has incredible vibes

Academia isn't about fame, or money, or approval. It's about downloading as many pdfs as you can before you die

It is a truly humbling experience to be promoted to the rank of full professor, and what an absolute privilege to be in the company of friends, colleagues, and students whose contributions made this incredible journey possible.
I started this journey as a young kid who knew just one thing: that he wanted to do something in history. I taught myself Indian history for A-levels because our school did not offer it. I spent a summer in '97 compiling notes from different books - Majumdar, Roberts, Chaurasiya, V.D. Mahajan - typical colonial, orientalist stuff, with a very Jadunath Sarkar-like timeline and understanding of the 'rise and fall of the Mughal Empire' kind of history. The stuff I wrote and compiled is funny, but I am glad I did that. I am grateful and happy that I continue doing that - possibly still writing funny stuff!

Mumbai/Bombay was a major centre of Arabic, Persian & Gujarati printing in the 19th century. Lithographed texts were printed for markets as far apart as Iran, Zanzibar, South Africa & Malaysia.
The city also produced an unprecedented amount of Muslim hagiographical literature.
