Kumbh Mela by Mark Tully - No Full Stops in India - Audio Essay
While exploring the theme of travel literature on India in English language, I pick a new book for today's episode. No Full Stops in India by Sir Mark Tully. The title is a metaphor for the idea that India is a complex civilisation that is misunderstood by its Westernised elite, who want to impose Western logic and finality on a country that is constantly in flux and has no "full stops". The book covers diverse topics, from religious festivals and cultural events to political and social issues like the Deorala Sati episode. I discuss one of my favourite chapters from the book for today's podcast episode, which is about the Kumbh Mela.About A Book A Day podcast: This podcast is hosted by author Deepak Rana, coming to you from the serene heights of the Himalayas.

While exploring the theme of travel literature on India in English language, I pick a different book for today's episode. Imaginary Homelands by Salman Rushdie. The book is a collection of essays that explores themes of migration, identity, literature, and politics. Through the lens of his own experience as an Indian migrant, Rushdie examines how individuals create "imaginary homelands" in their minds to cope with displacement, using memory and imagination to bridge the gap between their past and present. In one of the essays, Rushdie travels to Delhi and talks about the idea of a secular India and what happened to it.

Travel Writing India - Footloose in Agra by Ruskin Bond - Audio Essay
Continuing the theme of travel literature on India in English language, I narrate an essay by Ruskin Bond in today's episode. It's titled Footloose in Agra and it captures the laid-back, cultural essence of the city in the 1960s, going beyond its famous monuments like the Taj Mahal. The title itself suggests a typical Ruskin Bond-style leisurely exploration of the city, mostly just using a cycle-rickshaw, and highlights how the city was much more than just its historical sites, offering a glimpse into local life and culture.
