Researching and writing People's Mission was a delightful experience. I have launched the book with a lecture at St. Anthony's, Oxford. Here is the link to its podcast:
I took pride in having been invited to deliver the 2016 Annual Azad Memorial Lecture at the Indian Council for Historical Research. The Lecture was entitled "Connected Histories of Humanitarianisms"
Having taken stage as author at the Jaipur Literary Festival was also something to remember.
