Featured Book of the Week The very name of khayal means ‘imagination.’ There is something so poetic about a musician who performs on the fringes, away from the mainstream ecosystem, yet remains one of the most charismatic figures in an underground culture. The Secret Master by Sumana Ramanan explores the life and milieu of Arun Kashalkar, a singer who has mastered the intricate and rhythm-infused style of khayal. This book feels like a masterclass in seeing what’s hidden in plain sight. It asks fundamental questions about why certain art forms rise to the top while others—often the most authentic—thrive in the shadows.If you love books that blend history, biography, and a deep love for culture, this one is for you.

If a random stone is thrown in Dharwad, it will land on a poet or an artist. That was Karnataka in the 1970s and 80s. An extraordinary age of struggle where farmers’ mobilisations, militant trade unions, street theatre, feminist writing, and the Dalit literary revolution all erupted at once. Activists Srikar interviewed recalled something striking: the state was not as powerful then. People could carry out protests and marches. Everyone was trying to learn from each other. Society was trying to learn from itself. Swipe for the story of Karnataka’s golden decades. Srikar Raghavan is a NIF Fellow and author of Rama Bima Soma, in conversation with NIF Programme Coordinator Rishvanth Reddy Mucheli.
