City on fire A boyhood in Aligarh
Khan, Zeyad Masroor
City on fire A boyhood in Aligarh - New Delhi Harpercollins Publisher 2023 - 294p.
City on Fire is a rare, visceral portrait of how everyday violence and hate become a part of our lives and consciousness; a society where name and clothes mark out a person as the ‘other’. It is as much an incisive examination of religion and violence, imagined histories and fractured realities, grief and love in today’s India, as it is a paean to the hope of continued unity, to an idea of India.
