    "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. Through my comics and the essays in this book, I'm trying to reach people who have the same privileges as I do; those who tend to ignore politics because it benefits them. 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.

    "Comics and literature allow us to enter worlds through our imagination; it is a medium of not-saying. We read because we want to get into the interior worlds of say, a family living in a room in Algiers. Cinema does not give that because the director decides, though TV sometimes does give that. But through comics and literature we get into the extraordinariness of the interior world." - Sarnath Banerjee, author, Absolute Jafar, on writing a Gen X visual history, the changing nature of fatherhood, searching for jinns in Delhi, wandering the streets of Karachi, and sketching in the parks of Berlin Learn more about your ad choices.

    "The Salman Khan story reached the headlines and people thought, well, if the Bishnois can go for him so effectively, it's not safe to poach there. It has actually reduced poaching. So many Bishnoi die protecting nature; they will go unarmed against poachers. The Bishnois all share the horror of what Salman Khan did but the Lawrence Bishnoi method is completely the opposite of what the community believes should happen; they don't kill, shoot or cause threat in that way."- Martin Goodman, author, My Head for a Tree; The Extraordinary Story of the Bishnoi, the World's First Eco-Warriors talks to Manjula Narayan about the community whose belief system has nature conservation at its core Learn more about your ad choices.
