As Nilakantha said of the quality of debate in the Kaliyuga:
न भेतव्यं न बोद्धव्यं न श्राव्यं वादिनो वचः ।
झटिति प्रतिवक्तव्यं सभासु विजिगीषुभिः

- What a Beauty! I'm delighted to share the cover for my forthcoming book on Indian history... all of it. 5,000 years, dozens of languages and cultures, 1 author. Coming from @PrincetonUPress to wherever you buy books on June 3, 2025. Preorder: princeton.press/8r8idcye
- Folks, let's do an old-fashioned Q and A. Topic -- my new India book. Please don't ask me to summarize 700 pages in a tweet (and let's strive for basic human respect, please), but otherwise, put your questions below.
- India: 5,000 Years of History on the Subcontinent will be released in India on June 17! Preorder your copy here: amazon.in/India-000-Year… #India #history #newbook
- First physical copy! So gorgeous!! They even wrapped it for me. ❤️ Preorder here: a.co/d/ia2R0k4
- Amazing month over here -- For the first time in 10 years, I've received more fan mail than hate mail, mainly about my latest book. Random aberration? Changing tides? I have no idea, but I'll gladly take it!
- My book hasn't even released in #India yet, but already Hindu nationalists are sending me hate about it. That means you should probably read it and decide for yourself. #Hindutva ideologues may yell loud and be crass, but #historians have the evidence - midlandbookshop.com/en/product/ind…
- The book is barely out in the U.S. (and almost released in India), and already we have plans to translate India into multiple languages, including Chinese, Marathi, and Hindi. I'm so honored and thrilled!
- Hot off the press — The Hindu Nationalism Reporting Guide, edited by SASAC. Read and share widely please. P.S. — it’s useful for teaching as well as for journalists. hindutvaharassmentfieldmanual.org/s/SASAC-Hindu-…
- It's publication day! 🙌 U.S. link: amazon.com/India-000-Year… UK link: amazon.co.uk/India-000-Year… India link: amazon.in/India-000-Year… (*releases June 17)
- "Indian history is full of diverse stories" interview also here: thehindu.com/books/intervie…
- My latest interview about my new book -- India: 5,000 Years of History on the Subcontinent. We talk Cholas, Panchatantra, Guptas, caste, Shivaji, aryan migrations, and a lot more --
