Host Saadia Khan sits down with writer and historian Nishant Batsha to unpack how a pre-med dropout became a fiction powerhouse. From tracing Indian indenture across Fiji and Trinidad to crafting love stories set against political upheaval, Nishant’s novels explore what it means to belong when history keeps forgetting you. They talk about identity, migration, romance, and the radical act of writing for yourself. Plus, a sneak peek into his new novel A Bomb Placed Close to the Heart and some very unexpected inspiration from Yiddish-speaking Brooklyn kids. It’s smart, fun, and full of postcolonial plot twists, how we like it.
