Before beginning your year you need to process last year.

You also need to catch up on fabulous cultural products (books, films, art) which you might have missed.

@mukulika.bsky.social and @pragyatiwari.bsky.social help you do this through this episode of ‘The India Briefing’

Listen up!
2024 gave us #TheIndiaBriefing and in this end of year episode @mukulika.bsky.social and I talk about the news events that defined the year for us. We also share a long list of recommendations for books, film and art.

Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts.

Some sensible words…
Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:

1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

2) Bagging and working on ‘big stakes’ campaign 🤫😈

3) Dabbling in sketching and dancing, despite stringent work & life deadlines.

4) Bukhara and Samarkand— living histories +
