This Too Is India: Conversations on Diversity and Dissent

Product Description

A deep dive into Indian politics, history, culture

Most of the conversations in this book were published in their original form on the Indian Cultural Forum. Novelists, activists, historians, actors, musicians, translators - the voices are diverse and the conversations thoughtful, incisive, and wide-ranging.

What is the truth about our society, culture, politics, and how do we hope to shape it in the future?

We listen in to some of the finest minds of our time, including Bama, Nayantara Sahgal, Romila Thapar, Shanta Gokhale, Volga, T.M. Krishna, Sanjana Kapoor, as they speak frankly about subjects ranging from caste and contested texts to the silences that surround dissent, skilfully anchored by Githa Hariharan.
