The overlap between the diaspora Indians who write mango / coconut / masala chai / naani ki haath / maa ki faded sari / monsoon poetry and the diaspora Indians who funded and celebrated the Ram Temple inauguration in A*odhya is a bit frightening to be honest; and it makes sense, both are based on ‘imagined’ homelands and a vague sense of displacement that often isn’t grounded politically or historically
found this from tiktok, so well written!! excited to read more of your work
Congratulations Pranay!
