Delightful Kindle read of the book 'False Allies: Indias Maharajahs in the Age of Ravi Varma' by Manu S Pillai. The density of insights per page with shock value pauses you to think often. A 5 hour long ride to Thiruvananthapuram gave me some uninterrupted time to appreciate it.
Just finished 'The Ivory Throne' by Manu S Pillai It's a hefty read, but every page is packed with incredible research and masterful storytelling. Hard to believe this was his debut.

On one hand, supreme confidence that they'll win 400+ seats; on the other, stooping to freeze bank accounts of #Opposition party in 30-year-old case (a party that's hopelessly outmatched, is in a shambles, poor leadership, etc). How do political analysts reconcile these two?
3 hours listening to Manu S Pillai talk Indian history on Mukesh Bansal 's Sparx podcast, well spent!
Manu ji, if everyone could intersperse history with this kind of compelling storytelling I bet more of us would be a lot interested and invested in learning (and preserving) it.
