A walk through the history of Kashmir through the word of the mouth. A powerful articulation of generational grief and hope. "Dapaan" is a powerful rendition of our pain and sufferings. It speaks truths that stay with you long after the last page. Hats off Ipsita Chakravarty !

A deeply important book to remind us of the horror and depravity of the #GujaratRiots. A must-read, especially for those who are born after 2002 and haven’t known the origins of the Gujarat Model.

Thrilled to announce that my book - The Dravidian Pathway - is now available order! It follows reading rooms, street debates and anti-caste action that lifted the DMK into power. A decade of research in one cover. A timely reminder that movements do not just need momentum; they
