This exhibition took a dream, the collective efforts of an army of friends and family, and a wonderful group of visitors who graced the inaugural event to become the resounding success that it has grown into. I'd like to thank every one who helped IOTL become a reality

While seeking inspiration for the 5th draft of the curation of an exhibition on my doctoral research, I came across the wonderful work of Ngaire Blankenberg. Sometimes, it takes an outsider's perspective to help fix museum outreach. observer.com/2024/05/interv…

Looking into young telegraphist's lives in Agra in the 1920's and came across George Marthins, a young man who played the 1926 Amsterdam and 1936 Berlin Olympic games on the same team as Dhyan Chand and @_SaifOnline's grandfather! olympics.com/en/news/india-…

Thank you @GhoshSamyak for sharing. I published Romila Thapar, Nayanjot Lahriri, & Manan Asif @Harvard_Press. There are so many younger historians doing good work on India - Supriya Gandhi, Mircea Raianu, @DinyarPatel, @moubanerjee28, and more. I am amazed by their talent.

Here are four books by four academic historians who write legibly for an audience beyond academia. Most of them have been doing this for decades, and at least one of them also writes in an Indian language other than English. Read these books if you haven’t already!

Just finished reading Munnu: a Boy from Kashmir. A heart wrenching, tear-provoking, mood ruining, thought striking novel on the banality of evil in Kashmir. 10/10 please read when you life is otherwise in a good space

apple.news/AfkoWpyMaRUurb… If paying 19£ to visit the new Royal Portraits exhibition at Buckingham sounds like a good idea, it might be useful to read about propaganda through photography before you do so. Recommendations: Christopher Pinney, Kama Maclean for starters

More than 5300 artefacts have been returned to Egypt in 2021! When I saw Nefertiti at Neues this year, I wondered why she is so far from home. Egyptians launch campaign to repatriate lost queen Nefertiti nbcnews.com/news/world/nef… via @nbcnews

I came across the work of the remarkable journalist and poet Krishnalal Sridharani a few months ago. He moved to the US in 1934 to check out the 'American way'. Here's what he had to say about student life in New York in the 1930s scroll.in/magazine/10719…
