India’s Season of Dissent: An Interview with Poet Karthika Naïr
Résumé
In the following interview Karthika Naïr and Laetitia Zecchini talk of Shaheen Bagh and Karthiika Nair's poem “Ghazal: India’s Season of Dissent; of the activism of Indian writers and artists; the politics of literature; of the relevance of poetry to protest movements and resistance struggles; of how literary texts can “respond” to violence, grief and pain. And since Karthika Naïr’s poetry and biography constantly weave together a multitude of contexts, voices, and cultural backgrounds, she also throws light on the interconnection and intersectionality of these struggles; on the resonances of the anti-CAA protests and of Shaheen Bagh outside India; on how terror and resistance to terror are echoed in different parts of the world.
