Writing Political Lives | Abhishek K. Choudhary, S.Irfan Habib and Pratinav Anil in conversation Narayani Basu | Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Series Jaipur Literature Festival 2024
How do you grasp another life and pin it to a page? What does it take to immerse yourself completely into someones else’s story, to comb through history and bring it alive? Biographers of luminaries and figures as illustrious and complex as Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Indira Gandhi come together in a panel to discuss what it means to bring these personae to life, compellingly and authentically, and the challenges they face in doing so.
Abhishek Choudhary is the author of a two-part study on the former Prime Minister A. B. Vajpayee. The first volume, Vajpayee: The Ascent of the Hindu Right 1924-77 was released in May 2023 to great critical acclaim. The second volume will be published in early 2024, followed by the single-volume UK edition and Hindi and Marathi translations.
S Irfan Habib has worked in the area of history of science as well as political history.
His book To Make the Deaf Hear: Ideology and Programme of Bhagat Singh and his
Comrades, has been translated into several Indian languages like Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Punjabi and Bengali. Maulana Azad-A Life is his most recent book.
Pratinav Anil is a Lecturer in History at the University of Oxford. He is the author of two bleak histories, India's First Dictatorship and Another India. More recently he has, perhaps unwarrantedly, acquired a reputation as a stern reviewer for the Times.
Narayani Basu is the bestselling author of V.P. Menon: The Unsung Architect of Modern India. A historian and foreign policy analyst, her current area of interest focuses on highlighting the less-known but key players behind the story of Indian independence, though she continues to write extensively on foreign policy for several acclaimed international publications.
