One thing is for sure, Reena, in the Dial household we've become more conversant about what happened in the Partition, having just seen one doc film and the Viceroy House film (felt a bit like Downton Abbey displaced!)...
I’m so happy to hear that! In this last decade there’s been a great explosion of literature and non fiction accounts of the events as well and it gives me great relief to know that with the Archive’s work so many individual stories won’t be lost. Thanks so much, Minter!
I’ve been on that bridge and wanted to lock a lock (but didn’t). Extra! C.S. Lewis’ nonfiction was instrumental in shaping my worldview when I was younger, but it’s been many years since I’ve revisited him. This morning I’m grateful you gave me the opportunity to struggle with his thoughts again.
Oh, I don’t know. Mere Christianity is the book that first introduced me to his style. (I got very gung-ho Jesus in college. I used to read Mere Christianity once a year). I liked his examples, you knew what he was saying, whether you agreed or disagreed. Another favorite, though not nonfiction, more a dream fantasy, is The Great Divorce, which I recommend, especially if you find the Christian doctrine of hell to be repellant.
That poem...
Thanks dear Valentina!
Well said. Strange are the ways of our arrivals and departures....
Thanks Santosh. You’re so very right.

Thanks so much Wil! Please recommend more of his nonfiction that you think is worth reading.

Thanks Wil! Will explore.
