‘The powerless have nothing but their stories to offer’
Manage episode 468465799 series 2910805
‘City on Fire: A Boyhood in Aligarh’ is a superb memoir of a boyhood spent in Aligarh on volatile communal faultlines. The author, Zeyad Masroor Khan, details the pains associated with growing up, of joy and grief and loss and evolution. Its greatest success, however, is in portraying how the relationship between Indian Hindus and Muslims ebbs and flows, at once symbiotic and conflicting. All Indians Matter speaks to Zeyad about the book and where the Indian Muslim goes from here.
