    "You may try to believe that you are living in a First World country and that your reality differs from that of a poor person in your vicinity. But, at the end of the day, you will face the same existential threats that they do.

I also wanted to make this book accessible to younger people and engage them in politics" - Rachita Taneja, author, Touching Grass; A Book of Comics, talks to Manjula Narayan on the Books & Authors podcast about exposing Indian social hypocrisy, unmanning the manosphere, fighting the unscientific temperament, infiltrating incel groups on the Internet, and striving to find community IRL Learn more about your ad choices.
