Can we get the transcript of the interview?
The short stories by Rahul were narrated with great theatrical presence.
Wonderful recitation of a lovely collection of poems, Kudos.
Pity, was supposed to be a talk by Amitav :)?
There is a certain degree of kinship that's shared among all serious readers, and I just want to thank Art Forum SF for putting this truly beautiful conversation with one of India's prominent poets , Ranjit Hoskote. Marvelous!
Dr Suraj is excellent in expression of his researched thoughts
Basically these are anti India cabal, trying hard to disintegrate the nation rather than unifying it He is the poster boy of the wokes and the left. In India no one will take him seriously
Jai Sriram
Suraj Hengde is not heard of in India
Well now you do😂
Suraj is well known in India among the intellectuals and in the academic circles,especially among JNU,Hyderbad central university,Osmania University and other Instituitions.He frequently visits India and he was seen on top Indian TV chnnels on various intreviews.
Suraj Yengde has been the best as always.

It’s wonderful that we are having this dialogue in these times of COVID and Black Lives Matter! Children and Young Adults growing up in these times should be an audience where they get to realize that Asia and Asian arts have been there from before the west was discovered .. many people really are unaware of it !! Also I feel story telling .. helps a lot !
