My deep-dive into the popularity of translated Japanese literature in India is now out on @TheIncurato!
May god grant patient and supportive editors like @HitchhikerQ to all new writers 💜
Look at the illustration -- perfectly captures the theme of the piece 📚🐈
In Issue #34, Of Cats, Castles, and Clashing Cultures, @palakm_ does a deep dive into Japanese literature, one of the most widely translated and read foreign languages in India, and asks what is it that makes them so popular.

Have lovely pictures of continuing the conversation on the awesome @shwets_singh's book at @AshokaUniv set up by our very own & super bright @palakm_
It's an honour to share the podium with your teachers & to watch your students join you on it !
It was a joy to listen to @shwets_singh and fellow panelists @ambreen_agha_ and Palak. Grateful for the insightful discussion! Huge thanks to @MisraDevika03 for curating and moderating. Looking forward to how the conversation on reshaping IR from the feminist Global South unfolds
Thank you @jguideas@MisraDevika03@ambreen_agha_@fem_sec , Palak, Prof Deepanshu for hosting the discussion of this edited volume( with Prof Amena Mohsin, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh), and thinking through politics of knowledge production, collaborative ideas and South Asia
3) In today’s @livemint long story , I write about this powerful , confident lot of youngsters who are defying all protocols, have exasperated their bosses & are unfortunately struggling just as much to fit in but at the same time stand out.

Loved watching #Chamkila -- what an interesting film with great music and performances!
The central dilemma of the artist catering to market forces or moral considerations was fascinating!
Will be singing Ishq Mitaye Haaye Haaye for some days now 🎶
Love seeing all the love #LaapataaLadies is getting after its streaming release. I loved it so much when I saw it in the hall :")
So many new audiences to share all this love with 🫶
If you’re between 25-29, you’ve reached an age where you’re starting to feel like giving up on yourself, thinking it’s too late to start anew as you see people around you settling down. Don’t let that energy influence you. This phase is crucial; persevere through it.
@The_Acumen She might not appeal to minorities in the US but when it comes to cultural impact elsewhere, behind she is not.
And that is okay?! Like there are several Indian artists who have greater impact than her but we can't negate what she has done in her own space.
@The_Acumen I get what you're trying to say but TS has a huge fan base in India. There are regular Swiftie parties in Delhi & if she ever has a concert here -- there are going to be internet and actual traffic jams and Hindi news channels will be talking about her all day
