Sarama And Her Children written by Bibek Debroy - Book Review
Sep 22, 2025The most recognized dog in Indian myth is the dog in the Mahabharata that accompanied the Pandavas—not actually a dog but Dharma in disguise. There are, however, several more references to dogs in the classical texts. Mentioned for the first time in the Rg Veda, the eponymous Sarama is the dog of the gods and the ancestor of all dogs. In Sarama and Her Children, the evolution of the Indian attitude towards dogs is traced through the vedas, epics, puranas, dharmashastras and nitishastras.

The Demon of Unrest written by Erik Larson - Book Review
Oct 06, 2024Master storyteller Erik Larson offers a gripping account of the chaotic months between Lincoln’s election and the Confederacy’s shelling of Sumter—a period marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, enflamed egos and craven ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals.
Drawing on diaries, secret communiques, slave ledgers, and plantation records, Larson gives us a political horror story that captures the forces that led America to the brink—a dark reminder that we often don’t see a cataclysm coming until it’s too late.

The 1619 Project created by Nikole Hannah-Jones - Book Review
Oct 03, 2024The 1619 Project charts a new American origin story, beginning not on 4th July 1776 with the American War of Independence, but in August 1619, when a ship arrived in Virginia bearing a cargo of up to thirty enslaved people from Africa.
Orchestrated by the editors of the New York Times Magazine and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, The 1629 Project weaves together essays, poems and fiction to create a landmark work that reframes our understanding of American history, placing the legacy of slavery at the centre of the national narrative.

Heresy written by Catherine Nixey - Book Review
Sep 30, 2024In the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. Among them were Asclepius, the son of Apollo, who made the blind see; gentle, long-haired Apollonius, who raised the dead and Zalmoxis, who promised his followers eternal life.
But as Christianity spread across the Mediterranean, these other saviours were pronounced unacceptable – and in some cases heretical – and they faded from view. Now, in Heresy, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story. It is a story of contingency, chance and plurality; it is a stor...

Sati written by Meenakshi Jain - Book Review
Aug 31, 2024'Sati: Evangelicals, Baptist Missionaries, and the Changing Colonial Discourse' is not a work on Sati per se. It does not address, in any depth, issues of the possible origins of the rite; its voluntary or mandatory nature; the role, if any, of priests or family members; or any other aspect associated with the actual practice of widow immolation. Its primary focus is the colonial debate on sati, particularly the role of Evangelicals and Baptist missionaries. It argues that sati was an exceptional act, performed by a miniscule number of Hindu widows over the centuries. Its occurrence was, however, exaggerated...

From Silk to Silicon written by Jeffrey E. Garten - Book Review

The British Makeover of India by Meenakshi Jain - Book Review
Jul 05, 2024Early officials of the East India Company were surprised to discover that indigenous institutions of judicial redress had survived in a surprisingly good state during the centuries of “Tartar” rule. They noted that those institutions had largely remained beyond the purview of the medieval state, and had well served the needs of the populace. Subsequently, Company-men observed the functioning of indigenous judicial institutions in the areas under their control and cautioned against any transplantation from Britain.

Duration: 00:08:01How the World Made the West: A 4,000-Year History written by Josephine Quinn - Book Review
Jun 07, 2024The West, the story goes, was built on the ideas and values of Ancient Greece and Rome, which disappeared from Europe during the Dark Ages and were then rediscovered by the Renaissance. But what if that isn't true?
In a bold and magisterial work of immense scope, Josephine Quinn argues that the real story of the West is much bigger than this established paradigm leads us to believe. So much of our shared history has been lost, drowned out by the concept – developed in the Victorian era – of separate 'civilisations'.

The Battle For Rama: Case of the Temple at Ayodhya written by Meenakshi Jain - Book Review
Mar 29, 2024For over two decades, a handful of Left historians have strenuously endeavoured to stymie the Ramjanmabhumi movement. From questioning the antiquity of Rama worship and the identity of ancient Ayodhya, they have also challenged the widely held belief that Babri Masjid was built on the site of the Janmabhumi temple.
Excavations of the ASI revealed uninterrupted occupation of the site since the 13th century BCE. They also exposed remnants of the temple on which Babri Masjid was erected. The assertions of Left historians on Babri Masjid have all been found to be erroneous; yet there has been...
Rama and Ayodhya written by Meenakshi Jain - Book Review
Mar 22, 2024From the late 1980s, Left historians have been in the forefront of the campaign against the Rama temple. They have argued that Rama worship was an eighteenth-nineteenth century phenomenon and the present day Ayodhya acquired its standing and identity only in the fifth century AD, during the rule of the imperial Guptas. According to Left academics, the identification of the Ram Janmabhumi in Ayodhya was a matter of faith, not of historical evidence. They also rejected any possibility of the Babri Masjid being built on the site of the Janmabhumi temple.
The writings of Left academics, the...

Jan 26, 2024On 25 July 1947, India’s last viceroy, Lord Mountbatten, stood before the Chamber of Princes to deliver his career’s most important speech. He had just three weeks to convince over 550 princely states – some the size of Britain, some so small that cartographers had trouble locating them – to become part of a free India. The alternative was unthinkable – the fragmentation of the subcontinent into dozens of autocratic fiefdoms. This is the beginning of John Zubrzycki’s marvellous retelling of the story of how the princely states were coaxed, coerced or bludgeoned into joining India.

Red Memory: Living, Remembering and Forgetting China's Cultural Revolution written by Tania Branigan - Book Review

Stationed in Beijing for the Guardian, Tania Branigan came to realise that this brutal and turbulent decade continues to propel and shape China to this day. Yet official suppression and personal trauma have conspired in national amnesia: it exists, for the most part, as an absence.
