Gowri Lankesh

Gauri Lankesh was the definitive activist-journalist, someone whose head and heart worked as one to encompass her life. Gathered here is a selection from Gauri's writings, spanning languages, publications and the length of her career in Kannada and English. It flags the unfinished work and uphill struggles that remain her legacy, but also preserves her companionable voice for us to cherish, a talisman and inspiration. She was taken away from us in the middle of life, of living busily, large-heartedly and with a clear gaze on the world-the qualities that animate this collection. The book edited by scholar translator Chandan Gowda is translated in Tamil by Pon. Dhanasekaran.
