| 1575743573747990528 | Annoyed with forced vegetarianism during festivals such as Navratri. This business of imposing one group's practices, whether minority or majority, across all other castes, religions and communities is just aggressive majoritarianism. Let people eat, live, pray as they want! | 1187 |
| 1647515701282742273 | 🕯️Two years since COVID devastated millions; remembering the flood of frantic SOS calls for oxygen, hospital beds. A big thank you to @srinivasiyc and the@IYC team, who saved thousands of lives in 2021 with their selfless work. Will never forget. https://t.co/oZ0qVQRxt6 | 323 |
| 1619644703351406592 | #Pathaan is full paisa vasool with equal amounts of rousing patriotism, @iamsrk as leading hunk and @deepikapadukone as best argument for S Asian regional harmony anyone has made yet. A caveat... https://t.co/zEJdZw1ZP7 | 243 |
| 1558134646818279425 | "But he needed, now, to be clear of what he was fighting for. Freedom of speech, freedom of the imagination, freedom from fear, and the beautiful, ancient art of which he was privileged to be a practitioner. He would never again flinch from the defense of these things." ~ Rushdie https://t.co/I6UPVLCqHp | 145 |
| 1555825158023049218 | It took centuries of uprisings, mass protests, rebellions and jail terms to win independence. Our freedom fighters often held sharply differing ideas. But they disagreed with respect, and were united in their dreams for India. Those who try to pull them down are no patriots. https://t.co/PNfiwWLhwT | 79 |
| 1582949875288637441 | An editor said to me yesterday, "But they're only releasing these guys (rape/ murder accused or those convicted of rape and murder) because of the elections." As if that makes it all right. To betray women, to betray survivors, for such cynical reasons. https://t.co/tolt9NXaIw | 69 |
| 1639607889386938368 | My favourite genre of godi (lapdog) media is godi media throwing a hissy fit about being called godi media by the politician they did nothing but dump on for years because they are indeed godi media. | 65 |
| 1572992906062835712 | "And the work is only getting harder. Government data show a nearly threefold rise in India of instances of “fake news” and “rumors” from 2019 to 2020, even as social media companies take steps to curb the spread of misinformation." https://t.co/6UMfiE2K7k | 62 |
| 1640618500002570241 | "But a happy bird does not belong to a zoo or its caregiver in jail. The wisest recourse, therefore, is to reunite the two, and let them be."

More details later — thank you, @WestlandBooks, @DGALitAgents, @karthikavk, @ajithags, @amritatalwar, for everything you've done to make this happen. https://t.co/nVy58kZ9EA | 40 |
| 1617116614847234050 | Researching something, and readers on the TL, a little help? Point me to a good book (fiction, non-fiction, memoir) that captures the boom in Delhi restaurants, the fashion scene, weddings, social and cultural changes as the city expanded in the 1990s and early 2000s? | 18 |

| 1648935587729088513 | Shoutout to books page and magazine editors: please shine a light on children's and YA books from India. The scene has transformed in the last ten years, and I wish someone would run book reviews/ discussions/ interviews with writers and publishers in this field in a big way. | 13 |

| 1594563793723437057 | Writers in India, have you encountered review scammers? My third novel, Black River, came out last week, and my Insta mailbox is flooded with accounts offering to publish favourable reviews for a small fee, on Amazon, Goodreads, Insta itself and other socmedia sites. + | 12 |
| 1627610669163094016 | I have happy news — Black River is out this summer in the UK, from the magnificent @PushkinPress. Daniel Seton, thank you for believing in my writing from the days of The Wildings, and for opening Pushkin's doors to writers from around the world. Proud to be part of your list! https://t.co/f71tS9EQJG | 11 |
| 1591292790755188737 | Friends in Delhi, if you're free on Thursday the 17th, please join us for chai, snacks and a relaxed chat about Black River, books and writing. Thank you so much, @PragyaTiwari, for making the time to do this! 💖 https://t.co/u0Pq75qNwo | 10 |
| 1621038654490812424 | Packing for Trivandrum and taking the embarrassingly large suitcase because Magnus Musafir Manto has cunningly slashed the zips of the cool, compact world traveller bags in an attempt to prevent his people from abandoning him. 🙄 (Magnus is our needy cat, and he is Not Sorry.) https://t.co/VAQKdGrCWY | 8 |

| 1564473103333216257 | On asking writers for favours: 📚 a) feel free to ask if a writer can possibly read a manuscript, offer advice, give a talk, write a blurb etc, but b) respect their time. Most writers, except for the top 5 %, have other jobs and do a ton of free work. c) Take a no graciously! | 9 |

| 1553330296350642178 | The tiresome and inescapable politics of offence strike again. Geetanjali Shree, first Indian author to be awarded the Booker International, should not have to deal with this. “My novel is forcefully being dragged into a political controversy.” https://t.co/H2LYvZTwux | 5 |
