Happy to share the Introduction of the special issue which we did in the journal of South Asian History and Culture on the theme of time, temporality, and social practices in South Asia.
The Introduction has been written together with Ritam Sengupta.

The greatest expectation as an author is that they are widely read.
Ramchandra Guha's latest piece on Rahul Gandhi is widely being shared and applauded in right-wing family and friend WhatsApp groups.

I agree.
Hopefully, providing economic analysis on social media platforms will make a difference to politics.
The complete failure of the Subaltern Studies group to make any difference to our perception of our past tells us that the discipline of History has no political value.
Historians make no difference to Politics.
Politicians decide what History will be.

'When Past becomes Political' by @Sukhalata3
'Unless History is meaningfully engaged to break the Eurocentric rationalities of international law... one is left unsure as to the efficacy of justice for those spirits which continue to haunt this discussion.'

Chalo, now at least the name has been heard!
I feel confident in assuming that you will like her scholarship on the *history* of Hindi literary culture, which may help you understand your rootedness better.

I have no views on this scholar Francesca Orsini. Had never heard of her. But those of us from a rooted background, who speak Hindi at home, read Hindi books as well, can only roll our eyes at this rather bizarre claim that 'few have shaped our understanding' of Hindi literary culture like a British SOAS Prof! 🙄

My take on Prashant Kishore's politics, and, through that, some broad reflections on the current Indian political state related to ideology, caste, and support-base.

I would have preferred a slightly different title but here is the excerpt of my book, which raises questions on the plurality of time framework in Humanities and Social Sciences while thinking through social history.
