I cannot express how much I value these vignettes into worlds that I otherwise might never see. It’s a great gift after reading dreary news reports all afternoon, and wondering if I will outlive my country by a fraction of a second.
Utterly speechless to learn about the poet and his journey, his fortituous encounter with Tagore, his revolutionary friendship and death... and to think that all of this historical gems are unearthed from a foreign language library within a handful of trips! 🤯

Thank you for sharing, Vijay Prashad
What a small slice of history, yet so rich. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for that, Vijay. And for going about the world talking, talking and talking again against darkness.
