Fascinating conversation with Dr Ashis Nandy, author of many books on social psychology, politics, history. His next vol based on oral histories of the violence of Partition. He had many insights about the age of Trump/Modi. (Regimes of Narcissism/Despair.)
Conversation
Did you talk about Gandhi as well? A major shared interest of you both.

He was on the panel of the launch for my Gandhi book; gave a fascinating overview of the different ways of dismissing G, including those who make an idol of him.

I'm sorry to ask again because I lost track of your reply. This is not a new book of yours, right, but an Indian edition of Gandhi on Christianity?
What a panel that must have been! We're caught between those who find nothing good in Gandhi and those who find nothing wrong!
