Happy #TeachersDay! Remembering my teachers with gratitude--including the great writers whose books have taught me so much, and the great spiritual teachers who have enriched my life and whom I thank in my book acknowledgements. Is there a favorite teacher in your life?

@cdivakaruni Thank you for writing this and making us realise how we neglected such a major narrative from our epics. #ForestOfEnchantments is also a reminder that our religious texts are a great medium to broaden our understanding of the human psyche, sociology, gender and politics.

Though they write from vastly different geographies, both @cdivakaruni and Rob Franklin share a deep commitment to stories that interrogate identity, power, and cultural complexity. In conversation with Tayyba Kanwal at JLF Houston 2025, (1/2)
