Deeply saddened by the demise of Prof. K. M. Chenoy (1950–2026). A pioneering scholar in Comparative Politics & Political Economy and a steadfast champion of democratic rights, he inspired generations of students. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones. Rest in peace.

She examined how Indo-Muslim literary traditions use nostalgia to challenge present politics & imagine alternative visions of nationhood, situating her work within post-Partition Muslim voices in fiction, particularly novels on Muslims who stayed in India after Partition. (2/3)
