The People of India is about the people at the center of democratic politics in the new India. It brings together prominent scholars from South Asia to write about a person or concept that is particularly influential in the politics of contemporary India. In this way they open up an original understanding of what the politics at the heart of New India is and how we can best analyze it. Dalit scholar Suraj Milind Yengde contributes an article on Ambedkar, the nation’s creator; Faisal Devji writes about Mahatma Gandhi as the father of the nation; Navyug Gill portrays “the Kisan,” the farmer who forced the center to repeal the farm laws, Ravinder Kaur, the “Bhakt,” and Nusrat S. Chowdhury, “the mob.”

Strange things had happened in the cabin. No terrible dreams, but the cottage had an almost tangible atmosphere. A sense of the past was palpable in the last few days.

The Enchanted Cottage is a haunting masterpiece from the storyteller who has regaled us with his stories for seven decades. Sucharita Sengupta Suri’s very ‘English’ illustrations, depicting a story full of Indian characters in an Indian setting, make this a unique crossover picture book.
