This is a searing and beautiful piece of writing. Gave me pause and a lot to think about today. Not sure if the author - an IPS officer is on X - but thank you for this timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…

It is too hot for a cooked lunch, so it’s a chilled bowl of mangoes, with a side of spook.

Big cheer for @GhostsofBengal for her translation of Bibhutibhushan's spooky stories in 'Taranath Tantrik', & Jerry Pinto for his translation of Narayan Surve's powerful poetry in 'In That Mill, I Too Was Forged'.

Speaking to #TheIndianExpress, the younger woman, one of two women that were paraded naked and sexually assaulted in #Manipur, said: “The police were there with the mob which was attacking our village. The police picked us up from near home, and took us a little away from the village and left us on the road with the mob. We were given to them by police.”

Last year I read Taranath Tantrik published by @speakingtiger14 & was mesmerized by the stories. This year I got to meet the translator @GhostsofBengal at the International Kolkata Book Fair.
Here you can read my review of this amazing book for @scroll_in

Tsukumogami, Japanese #spirits, are #haunted household objects. Shinto belief is that everything has a spirit, so inanimate objects can become sentient. Transformation occurs on their 100th birthday. After serving people for a century, all objects gain souls. #MythologyMonday

Hmm... what do you think makes the character of Taranath both complex and interesting? Find out in @GhostsofBengal's excellent translation of this absolute page-turner from a master storyteller of Bengali literature—#Bibhutibhushan.

In Taranath Tantrik, @GhostsofBengal translates nine stories of the uncanny and occult by legendary Bengali storyteller, #Bibhutibhushan. Seven are short stories of séance, curses, return for revenge, and the desire for things that have no place in human lives.
Devalina Mookerjee retweeted
.@GhostsofBengal's excellent translation of utterly spooky stories by the legendary author #Bibhutibhushan captures the fear and suspense of the original stories beautifully. Not for the faint-hearted or is it? Find out for yourself.

I have noticed that whenever people belonging to the Hindu Right say "decolonise", they actually mean "saffronise".

Looking for someone who has worked on education in Bangladesh and will be able to write an acad chapter on education in Bangladesh esp in the pandemic. This is for a volume soon to be published and the timeline for submission is short, so ideally someone with ready research. LMK!
