<p>Our 22nd episode is a special one, where Arpita Das, Founder-Publisher of Yoda Press, moderates a panel between three of our authors, as part of the 2025 Ananke Literature Festival. She talks to Arshi Javaid, author of <em>Yaadgah: Memories of Srinagar</em>; Neeta Kolhatkar, author of <em>The Feared: Conversations with 11 Political Prisoners</em>; and Namita Waikar, author of <em>Farmers Protest! A Movement for Our Times. </em></p><p>The theme for this year&#39;s festival was &#39;Speaking Truth to Power&#39;, which we believe each of these titles epitomise, through their powerful words; of hope, of resistance. The panel was originally recorded and uploaded in April 2025. </p><p><br></p><p>Each of the aforementioned titles are available on Amazon through the links attached below, as well as in independent bookstores. </p><p><br></p><p><em>Yaadgah: </em>https://amzn.in/d/gG6ZobE</p><p><em>The Feared </em>(with Simon &amp; Schuster): https://amzn.in/d/gG6ZobE</p><p><em>Farmers Protest!</em>: https://amzn.in/d/h0wPWv5</p><p><br></p><p>Yoda Press on Instagram: @yodapress</p><p>Arpita Das on X (formerly Twitter): @arpitayodapress</p><p><br></p><p>The opening song is &#39;Typewriter&#39; by Eric Taboel via Epidemic Sound. </p><p><br></p><p>This podcast has been edited and produced by Tara Mathur. </p><p><br></p>
