What is the role of literary writing in response to political crises? Amitav Ghosh and Vijay Seshadri discuss their thoughts on politicized writing, or, as Vijay Seshadri calls it, "working in the realm of symbolic action" and how writers effect change.
From that they move to talking of their relationship to America, India, and the Diaspora.

sorry that you found the music distracting... it was meant to add to the texture of the piece, and also to help segue from one topic to another... unfortunately i am unable at this time to send you a non-music infused copy...
but thanks for the feedback!

Yesha,
I listened to some of the show, and found it really fascinating. Thanks for all your work in bringing this to a wider audience.
I was wondering if it would be possible to get hold of a version that doesn't have the violin background. Somehow I find it very distracting to focus on the interview with the music running.
Thanks!
