SAAG’s 2024 In Reading These reflections do not aim to present a neat list of 2024’s "best" books or "essential reads." Instead, they are fragments of what stayed with us; works that lingered and called us back.

Surprised and pleased to find //Scripts of Power// in this list! www.saaganthology.com/vol-2-issue-...

Here is a beautiful little book by Mulk Raj Anand & Pulak Biswas. Anand imagines Mohenjodaro through a day in the life of a little girl, Maya. The book is available in several Indian languages @ Internet Archive. You can download, print, and share with kids who love to read :)
