Women Writers in India Today: A conversation with Gurmehar Kaur, Karuna Ezara Parikh and Daribha Lyndem

**DISCLAIMER**  Katherine is recording the podcast from Beirut this week - and so please excuse our less than perfect recording quality thanks to intermittent power! Stick with us – we promise this wonderful episode is absolutely worth it!!  –  In this week’s episode of Women Who Dared to Write, Katherine Pangonis talks to Gurmehar Kaur, Karuna Ezara Parikh and Daribha Lyndem about life as a young female writer in India today.  Gurmehar Kaur is a writer and political activist from Punjab. She first rose to prominence for promoting peace between India and Pakistan – which was seen to be particularly controversial as her father was killed in a terrorist attack in 1999.  Gurmehar has asserted that it was not Pakistan that killed her father, but war itself. She has since written two books, the former titled ‘Small Acts of Freedom’ and the latter ‘The Young and the Restless’. In 2017 Time magazine spotlighted her as a next generation leader. Karuna Ezara Parikh is a writer from New Delhi who started out as a journalist and poet but has recently released her first novel – the Heart Asks Pleasure First, her debut poetry collection was called ‘Where Stories Gather’. Daribha Lyndem is a writer and civil servant from Shillong who released her critically acclaimed coming of age novel – ‘Name, Place, Animal, Thing’ in 2020 and this has recently been shortlisted for the prestigious JCB prize for literature. In the episode they talk about their struggles against stereotyping and the often misogynistic reception of their groundbreaking work.  Their twitter handles are:  @mehartweets @karunaparikh @tribalations   –  Links to all the books written by our guests mentioned on the show:  Gurmehar Kaur https://www.amazon.co.uk/Small-Acts-Freedom-Gurmehar-Kaur-ebook/dp/B0798DF3C7 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Young-Restless-Youth-Politics-India/dp/0143447157  Karuna Ezara Parikh https://www.amazon.co.uk/Heart-Asks-Pleasure-First/dp/9389109515 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Where-Stories-Gather-Karuna-Parikh/dp/9354890873  Daribha Lyndem https://www.amazon.co.uk/Place-Animal-Thing-Daribha-Lyndem/dp/819476050X  –  Presented by Katherine Pangonis Produced and Edited by Adele-Momoko Fraser Artwork by Carli Boisjolie Music by Jad Kas  – Follow us on Twitter: @Katie_Pangonis @AMFraser_  And on Instagram: @katie__pa @momo.fraser  –  Katherine’s Website: https://www.katherinepangonis.com/
