Couldn't get to read too much this year but would fully recommend The Dawn of Everything by Dave Graeber and Dave Wengrow. Gives a completely different perspective and take on human history (though there are some good critiques on the potential misreading of some of the evidence).
Currently reading Vasudendhra's "Tejo Tungabhadra" in Kannada (it's also available in English) and "Minor Hints", a series of lectures given by T Madhava Rao (Diwan of Baroda among other states) to Sayaji Rao Gaekwar. Random related bit of trivia, Sayaji Rao Gaekwad famously refused/forgot to pay proper obeisance to King George V at the Delhi Durbar. Recently found out that there's archival footage of the scene here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvR4WHy80hU On Wed, Dec 14, 2022 at 8:29 AM Radhika, Y. via Silklist < [email protected]> wrote: > > Book list: >> > > 1.Migrations.
