Who decides which stories get published and which are left out? In the debut episode of The Reading List by Bahrisons Booksellers, host Aashna Malhotra speaks with Aakriti Mandhwani, author of Everyday Reading, about the rich world of Hindi periodicals in post-partition India. From feminist debates in letters to the editor to the pocketbook revolution that redefined publishing, they unpack how print culture shaped North India’s middle class and why they still matter today.
