I never use this forum for complaints, but since several scholars are facing this this out let me share just how ridiculous @FedExIndia and GOI requirements @PiyushGoyal for receiving books from abroad are becoming. This is crazy regulation in miniature. A publisher sent me a book. Notice arrives weeks later that book is being returned for incomplete KYC. 1/3

Superb piece on #CitiesinFiction by @antarabaruah__
"Fiction, short stories and poetry have the power to accommodate students, to make them feel seen... On a pedagogical level, it can make curriculums more dynamic, inclusive, and experimental,” @BilingualWindow
Look for Amitav Ghosh, Rohinton Mistry novels not just on bookshelves, but on a map now

Sometimes, I read a book review & wish the writer had gone beyond western literary traditions (WLTs) to give us a more substantial critique. Yes, even in India, where books often get reviewed w.r.t. WLTs vs India's many other storytelling traditions+structures. Let's do better.

South Asia needs more literary zines. There's a fair bit of mediocre writing passed off as great in Western zines, themselves acknowledged as great by their Western peers. Nobody comparable showing them up in English in South Asia. For that to happen, east would need to pay in $
