The Shakti Bhatt Foundation, which now enters its 12th year, has announced its shortlist for this year. The judges, poet-author Jeet Thayil and author Arshia Sattar, shared the list and remarked, “As our democratic processes are brutally demolished and our voices of dissent are choked off, our public and private bookshelves can stand tall as spaces of resistance. Solidarities can still be created by the books that we write and read and share.”
