A History of a City through It's People
The first edition of the Shehr Walk Festival is hosting an interactive session with author Daneesh Majid in partnership with Lamakaan.
Writer and documentary filmmaker Daneesh Majid will discuss his book, The Hyderabadis: From 1947 to the Present Day, in conversation with writer and researcher Pramod Mandade.
Drawing on oral histories, generational interviews, literature and personal experiences, The Hyderabadis traces the lives of the city’s people through the political and social transformations that followed 1947.
Daneesh Majid is a Hyderabad-based writer and documentary filmmaker whose work focuses on South Asian culture, security and Urdu literature.
Pramod Mandade recently completed his PhD at IIT Bombay. His dissertation, Nothing Remained the Same After: Living Pasts of Hyderabad’s Integration, examines memories of the violence that followed Hyderabad State’s integration in 1948, particularly in the Marathwada region. His writing has appeared in The Caravan, The News Minute and The Wire.
Copies of the book will be available at the venue. Further events from the festival programme will be announced shortly!
