Golchakkar: The Non-Indian in Indian Literature
The latest panel of Golchakkar Series with Kaushik Barua and Dipika Mukherjee: A conversation about Non-Indian characters from writers of Indian origin; of authenticity, appropriation, cultural anthropology, and more.
Short story by Debi Mukherjee: “Unlike the little girls I see outside temples, draped in their pano bhaju’s stringing garlands of Marigolds, I dare not play with the flowers in our garden. Papa cautions me against the rows of Mogras, Shoe-flowers, Frangipanis and a multitude of others. He says that I must not be lured by a flower’s fragrance.”
