Salt and Pepper: Selected Literary Columns (The India List)
Author: Thakur, Sankarshan
Brand: Seagull Books London Ltd
Binding: Paperback
Number Of Pages: 144
Release Date: 12-03-2026
Details: A fierce and witty portrait of an unraveling nation. Salt and Pepper is a collection of literary columns that defy convention―acerbic, tender, and unrelenting in their gaze. Written between the margins of news and national spectacle, these pieces are not topical commentary but something far more enduring: political satire that reads like poetry, reportage that mutates into parable, lament, and fable. In these dispatches from a fractured republic, written over the past decade, journalist Sankarshan Thakur captures the surreal absurdities and deep disquiet of an India caught between thunderous assertion and muffled dissent. Governments speak in acronyms, mobs chant in hashtags, silence acquires a sound―and memory becomes an act of resistance. These are chronicles of a society slipping into curated amnesia, of belonging turned conditional, and of patriotism twisted into performance.
