@farheen2326 شکیب جلالی کی کلیات احمد ندیم قاسمی نے مرتب کی ہے۔ کمال شاعر ہے۔اس کی غزلیں منفرد افسردگی کا ایک نہایت دلپذیر البم ہے۔

Spending time with Milee is always a privilege. Beyond her role at Penguin Random House India as Senior Vice President at Adult Publishing Group, her mastery of the publishing landscape is remarkable. During our meeting at BKC, I was happy to simply listen to her deep insights.

Perfect time to ignore litbait articles and read authors who, unaccountably, live here...

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Just finished a proof of Munis Faruqui's astonishing new biography, Aurangzeb 'Alamgir and the Mughal Empire, forthcoming from @juggernautbooks. It is a landmark of patient archival scholarship and an utterly remarkable book, the product of thirty years hard labour in far-flung archives, dredging up a massive cache of previously unread and neglected primary sources. Munis Faruqui has written a calm, considered and beautifully nuanced reassessment of the most controversial and polarising figure in South Asian history, and he has succeeded in bringing a much-caricatured prince to life in a way no previous study has ever managed to do.

It is ultimately a study in profound failure: by the end of his life, Aurangzeb had undermined the military reputation of the Mughal Empire and brought the whole edifice to the point of political collapse. He regarded himself on his deathbed as abandoned by God. How a prince once known as a talented administrator, a pragmatic politician and remarkable general brought himself to this pass is made wonderfully clear by Faruqui's patient scholarship and the pellucid clarity of his writing. The result is rich, learned and complex book, full of fresh insights. It unquestionably one of the most important works on Indian history produced this century.

What did ancient Persia sound like around 1400 BC… This beautiful recreation on the 3,400-year-old Arjan harp.

🇮🇷 Iran is home to one of the largest Jewish populations in the Middle East outside Israel.

This rarely makes headlines.

In cities like Tehran and Isfahan, Jewish communities that have lived in Persia for over 2,700 years still exist today.

Many continue to pray for peace for their country.
