My piece for @thewire_in “Within this setting, the colony or street dog is not a ‘trespasser’ but part of the community that lives in a long-standing partnership with residents, serving as watchman & companion. This way of living has long vanished in the West..."

In the Indian Concept of Public Space, Street Dogs are Not Trespassers But Part of the Community The debate over Delhi’s street dogs ultimately boils down to a question of who controls public space and whose vision of order prevails. @Sidsmusings✍️ thewire.in/rights/in-the-…

Thanks for this beautiful review @TheStatesmanLtd @speakingtiger14 Tripping Down the Ganga unfolds like a slow and reflective drift down India’s holiest river. One that becomes a living metaphor for the tension between inherited belief and personal doubt thestatesman.com/features/tripp…

'It will cut through rock formations, ensuring stability'. Right. As I say in Tripping Down the Ganga, @speakingtiger14 : "The temple’s builders had a deep sensitivity to their surroundings. They appreciated the majesty and fickleness of these peaks in ways we could not."

Don’t let anyone get away with the lie that the US is 'the leader of the free world'. It imposes its will on the world through sheer violence—nothing more.

Honoured to be placed alongside Diana Eck. @speakingtiger14 “Tripping Down the Ganga is about what Hinduism means to believers in general, and sceptic like him…… seamlessly transitions into an introspection and an interesting memoir”. @the_hindu thehindu.com/books/finding-…
