For @the_point_mag I wrote one if the most personally important essays I’ve ever written. My experience teaching great books has been utterly transformative, and I think that if you’re on the left you should be all in on it. https://t.co/3ZAXbrA86u

“The Burdens of Love in Public Discourse in China” looks wildly similar to my own book. 1) who at Yale invited him? 2) will anyone challenge him at the talk? https://t.co/giumRkHIOz

An arresting portrait of Mahakavi Subramania Bharathi features in my @frontline_india article on the Self-Respect Movement. I identify the Mahakavi and other important thinkers & reformers as those who created an environment for the Self-Respect Movement to germinate.
Somewhat surprised but very happy to report that my ghost book has won the John F. Richards Prize in South Asian history from the American Historical Association.
I am humbled by the trust my colleagues on the committee put in my scholarship.
