A terrific book that breaks form and tells the stories that have been forgotten. It is a must-read, especially in these times, when the Kashmiri media has largely been silenced. Kudos for this, @p_semolina.

My take in @thewire_in on how the latest book by @tmkrishna We The People: Decoding a Nation’s Symbols sheds light on reasons why #Sangh Parivar constantly commits blasphemies against the Preamble of the Constitution! Its recent distortion in #Baghpat, #UP by the District Magistrate and #BJP leaders shows why the Preamble is problematic for them. m.thewire.in/article/commun…

Eight years ago, when we started to build @ContextIndia, this is exactly the kind of book and conversation we hoped to make possible. Thank you, writers & readers for sticking with us. And thank you, all the brilliant people who have been part of discussions around these books.

Special book alert! Coming to stores soon, this remarkable examination of citizenship, democracy, and the symbols that represent us as a nation. Pre-order @tmkrishna’s We, the People of India now: amzn.in/d/aAgAnF5

"Most citizens trust polls and EVMs, shows survey": extraordinary @DeccanHerald lead story Doesn't disclose that survey "commissioned by @ECISVEEP" was done by an NGO whose founder now works at @PMOIndia---and who wrote a fawning tribute to @narendramodi's "leadership" in 2024. Survey done in May 2025; @RahulGandhi first aired #VoteChori charges in Aug 2025. @bharathjoshi

We are starting the new year on a high note! Delighted to see Srikar Raghavan’s Rama Bhima Soma and @p_semolina’s Dapaan on @frontline_india’s best non-fiction books of 2025. Available at all major bookstores and online! @ContextIndia

We, the people of India Decoding A Nation’s Symbols This book has been over five years in the making. Hours spent excavating archival material and thinking about what it means to be Indian. The symbols being a pathway to understanding our present. This is that moment when the book goes to print and you can’t make any more last minutes tweaks! The book will be out in January 2026. @WestlandBooks @gautamreader @karthikavk @ajithags @ContextIndia

Stop whatever you’re doing & pay attention to this. District admins across Assam are ordering Bengali Muslims who are declared foreigners by Foreigners Tribunals to GO TO BANGLADESH WITHIN 24 HRS. Absolute travesty of justice, unlike anything in history. assamtribune.com/assam/biswanat…
