The Book

'What we are reading here are narratives in which the author captures moments in time just before they are overwritten by that grandest of narratives we call History. Writing from the inside of his place of birth, Chandel, Shelmi Sankhil reminds us that time never stood still in the forgotten places of history. It is we who forgot how to read.' Shad Naved, translator of The Hindi Canon: Intellectuals, Processes, Criticism
