Shubho Bijoya!

Friends, any recommendations/suggestions for a reliable international shipper? I have books and clothes that need shipping from the US Midwest to India!

@moubanerjee28.bsky.social designed the Nonviolence Project "to highlight how nonviolence has remained one of the most popular, important, and effective weapons of political resistance for those who are underrepresented, minoritized, and oppressed." Read more about the project in #AHAPerspectives. 🗃️

"There is enduring tragedy and discord in our world, and yet there is also an element of indomitable faith and hope that we can contribute to building a better future."

The South Asian version of my book is available from today. I see it listed on amazon.in for Rs. 559! www.amazon.in/Disinherited...

40th birthday and book publication party with my students and friends, thanks to the wonderful @mitrasharafi.bsky.social. I had the most brilliant time!

An undergraduate student who works on enslavement and unfree labor in Central Asia in 18-19th centuries wants to hire a research assistant to gather some materials at the British Library for (paid) work. If you know someone who might be interested, could you please help us out tell us?

My first book talk, and I am so glad it begins here at home at the Center for South Asia at UW-Madison! Friends, I shall be overjoyed if some of you can make it to the talk! Date: February 27, 2025, 12:00 PM CT. Location: 206 Ingraham Hall. southasia.wisc.edu/mou-banerjee/

My essay highlighlighting the work I and my students have done on the Nonviolence Project is out in the @historians.org Perspectives on History. It is on Pg. 31 of the pdf of the January issue: www.historians.org/perspectives...

My book was sent for review to an Indian newspaper from London. DHL is demanding KYC from the editor of the newspaper, who is, justifiedly, not interested in doing this. Apparently such demands are routine for shipments from UK and US. Has anyone else had an issue like this? How to figure this out?

Thank you!

The new book by @moubanerjee28.bsky.social details the religious marginalization in 19th-century Bengal that helps "explain the shape of Indian nationalist politics in today’s era of Hindu majoritarianism." Read more at @harvardpress.bsky.social: loom.ly/gBMElkE

Happy official publication day for my book! It's taken an improbable road for this girl from Purulia to end up at Harvard and beyond, and this book is the map to those 14 years and more. Please read, and if you do, please let me know what you thought! www.hup.harvard.edu/books/978067...

The South Asian version of my book is now listed on amazon.in, for release on 31st January! www.amazon.in/Disinherited...

Why scholars who come to Madison, WI for the Annual Conference on South Asia in October sometimes stay longer to use the UW Libraries (great to see my colleague Todd Michelson-Ambelang interviewed here): www.bbc.com/news/article... #SouthAsianStudies
