Rajkumari Sharma Tankha History often consigns its most extraordinary stories to the margins. The grand narratives of collapsing empires, nationalist awakenings and political realignments dominate our understanding of the past. But, the more improbable subplots slip quietly into obscurity. And, The Indian Caliphate by Imran Mulla is a bid to resurrect one such forgotten episode […]Read More
Rajkumari Sharma Tankha History often remembers movements but forgets the individuals who quietly shaped them. In Daktarin Jamini Sen (Penguin Random House India), author Deepta Roy revives the remarkable yet largely forgotten story of one of India’s earliest women doctors.

Dr Sukriti Tankha One day, while browsing Netflix for something to watch, I spotted the poster for Toaster, the Netflix film starring Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra, set for release on April 15th. Being a big fan of their previous work, I immediately clicked the notification and added it to my list. When the 15th […]Read More
Rajkumari Sharma Tankha Watched Jab Khuli Kitaab on ZEE5, and I’m left wondering—why was this film made? What exactly is it trying to say? The film opens with Gopal, played by Pankaj Kapur, caring for his wife Anusuya (Dimple Kapadia), who is in a coma. Within minutes, she regains consciousness—only to confess that she had […]Read More

Wild Capital: Discovering Nature in Delhi (HarperCollins India) by Neha Sinha breaks this pattern beautifully. […]Read More
Rajkumari Sharma Tankha Amit Lodha, the celebrated IPS officer who previously wrote Bihar Diaries: The True Story of How Bihar’s Most Dangerous Criminal Was Caught and Life in the Uniform: Adventures of an IPS Officer in Bihar, now releases a fiction Indian crime thriller titled Police Affairs: Beyond the Call of Duty (Penguin), which draws […]Read More
Upasana Kaura If you want to achieve something, get up and take action, begin doing, rather than just thinking and making plans about it. This is the crux of YANGA Unplugged (Passionpreneur Publishing) by Prema Patel recently out on the bookshelves. It is not just another run-of-the-mill self-development book. For, the author here doesn’t dictate […]Read More
Rajkumari Sharma Tankha Rebellion in Verse (Penguin) by Raghavan Srinivasan explores the Tamil Bhakti movement, a medieval South Indian devotional surge, which the author argues was not only spiritual but also a profound social and cultural revolution. The book looks at how Tamil poet-saints challenged rigid religious hierarchies, caste-based discrimination, and Sanskrit-centric ritualism by composing […]Read More
Dr Sukriti Tankha Yesterday I was doing my favourite past time of scrolling Insta reels when I came across one showing a child asking his dad if he remembers which class and section he is in before going to the PTM and the dad doesn’t remember. Then he asks his mom what his best friends’ […]Read More
