Author Interview - Debasish Das

Author Interview - Debasish Das  1. Tell us a short description about Red Fort: Remembering the Magnificent Mughals The book is a celebration of the fusion of different cultural strains: the rhythm of fertile native cultural traditions and the incoming foreign culture. Be it Mughal food, architecture, dress, festivals, perfumes, functions or games, we see the assimilation of exuberant native styles with foreign influences. Far from what many would think of Mughals today, the syncretic symphony of cultures – like the Purnaghata or Kalasha motif in the Shahjahani baluster column, the celebration of Holi and Diwali along with the Persian Nauroz in the Red Fort, the massive multilingual translation of Indian epics from Sanskrit to Persian, cultural seepages due to Rajputs marrying into the Mughals, to name a few – is the highlight of my book. Rather than promoting prejudices of any one culture against the other, I tried to stitch together history of monuments and structures and the liv...

All the tales have a separate genre, and at the same time, it will leave a message at the end. Each has a depth where it will make you think about what will happen next. I loved all the eleven stories, but my most fav was the second one, The Misfit.  This story has a strong and profound message. I love myself the way I am BUT, society won't let me live in peace. The same happened with Kalyani. She is married and has a kid. Kalyani doesn't like makeup, and she loves to look simple, she only uses talcum powder and seasonal cold cream, which she considered as her makeup kit. She is happy the way she is, but one day, Kalyani goes to a cosmetic store and bri...

In the Mughal era or Babur or Humayun to Aurangzeb, the women during that time have done some great work using their powers. But still, in today's time, they are not mentioned anywhere in history. The women of the Mughal Harem were one of the most crucial parts, but still, they didn't get the respect they deserved.  History is one of the subjects which is not a cup of my tea, but it was an engaging read. As though this book, I go to read a lot about the Mughal Empire. I got to read a lot about Women whom I have not heard. While reading, you will f...
