BOOKS TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN 2025

MOTHER MARY COMES TO ME

Arundhati Roy

Penguin Random House India/Non-fiction

After her mother Mary's death in 2022, the writer Arundhati Roy described herself as "heart-smashed". The remarkable, brilliant woman with whom she shared a relationship far too complex to sum up in a few lines was gone forever. This prompted Roy to write her first-ever memoir, Mother Mary Comes to Me, about the lady she calls "my shelter and my storm".

WILD FICTIONS

Amitav Ghosh

HarperCollins India/ Non-fiction

His considerable powers as a novelist aside, Amitav Ghosh has also been an excellent essayist over the last couple of decades. The collection Wild Fictions brings together Ghosh's writings on literature, culture and history alongside his growing, highly influential corpus on environmentalism and climate change.

RISING SONS

Kavery Nambisan Penguin Random House India/Fiction

The acclaimed doctornovelist Kavery Nambisan (The Scent of Pepper, A Town Like Ours) returns with an engaging fable set in pre-independence India, in a little Karnataka village called Kesarugattu. The rules of caste, hygiene and matrimony are especially strict in this little hamlet, and they are observed in full by Devaraya, a devout Brahmin. However, the onset of the freedom struggle has his son in thrall to his nationalist heroes, even as Devaraya deals with the repercussions.

A BOILING-HOT FIGHT IN MILKIPUR
India Today

A BOILING-HOT FIGHT IN MILKIPUR

The upcoming byelection in the assembly constituency of Milkipur, in Ayodhya district, carries immense significance for both the BJP and the Samajwadi Party (SP). Scheduled for February 5, it's a battle that could help shape the initial narrative for the 2027 Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. The Scheduled Caste-reserved seat fell vacant after the 2024 general election, when its veteran SP MLA Awadhesh Prasad famously fought and won the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat-under which Milkipur falls, as does Ayodhya. Coming within months of the Ram temple inauguration, that loss had dealt a bitter blow to the BJP: it was tantamount to Hindutva being humbled in its symbolic homeland. Thoughts of redemption will therefore be uppermost in the party's mind.
