Heres a gorgeous evocative image of a woman not reading but writing. The cover of Shama, a massively successful Urdu periodical with circulation figures far surpassing any others. Also one of those archival regrets - a magazine I wish I could have worked on!

This #DalitHistoryMonth pre-order a copy of @nusratjafri’s evocative memoir. When it first landed in my inbox, thanks to @SmitaKhanna3, I remember reading it in one go & being stunned by its sheer radiance. I promise you, too, will fall in love with it.

If you always thought #Urdu was the language of North India, you've missed out on hundreds of poets, satirists, biographers, lyricists and educators—all women, writing in Urdu in Hyderabad.
Read @Nazia_Akhtar27's essay on Urdu's lesser known writers.

26 years after its publication, Anjana Appachana’s Listening Now is out with a stunning new cover. Enchanting from the very first page!

The brilliant bilingual historian A. R. Venkatachalapathy has written many fine books, but this may be his most important work yet. It is a compelling dual biography, of a visionary and remarkably courageous nationalist and the swadeshi shipping company he founded.

In 1906, Britain's grip on the world was unassailable. Its navy ruled the seas, its trade empire spanned the globe. But in the small port town of Tuticorin, a lawyer had a revolutionary idea that would challenge the might of the empire itself. Out this month from @ARV_Chalapathy.

Happy, contemplative, tender, and haunting perhaps? Excited about these new additions to my TBR! @PenguinIndia

As a reader, I love to see an author’s style extent beyond the main body of a book. A thoughtful dedication really draws me in!

I love how this dedication from Sophie Calle’s True Stories is a narrative in itself, just as playful as the book.
