The Courtesan, the Mahatma and the Italian Brahmin: Tales from Indian History
Pillai argues that the religious divide between Hinduism and Islam is not clearly defined that can be grouped into mutually exclusive niches. As he says, black and white were not the colours through which these voices perceived their world. There was an elite visualisation of 'Turks' and there was another of ‘Hindus’, but boundaries between the two were not rigid. He identifies the crystallization to have taken place, at least in the south of India, by the early seventeenth century, in the aftermath of the destruction of the Vijayanagara Empire by the unified onslaught of the Deccan’s Muslim sultanates.

“All the flowers that you planted Mama
In the backyard
All died when you went away.”
That line, which Prince wrote, and Sinead sang, is from “Nothing Compares 2 U,” a song I love.
Thinking about it today because it’s exactly a year since my dear Amma, Lekha Sreenivasan, died in Thiruvanathapuram. Having just returned last week from marking the Kerala Nair rituals for the anniversary (which took place early, according to the lunar calendar, not the Gregorian one), I can proudly tell her that all the flowers she planted around the world — family, relationships, charity organizations, countless good deeds — are all still flourishing. They are thriving, Amma! We miss you every day, but are glad you are pain-free and have achieved Moksha. Love you so much!
So proud of how my dad, T. P. Sreenivasan has handled everything this past year, despite losing his partner of 55 years. He's redirected his energy into many meaningful new projects, including his next book, his new Asianet News TV show, university assignments and more. He even published Amma's posthumous memoirs, "The Better Half of Diplomacy," which is available here: http://bit.ly/lekhabookusa and http://bit.ly/lekhabookindia
He hosted several of our family members for multiple days at the end of the year, so we could mark Amma's anniversary: Roopa Unnikrishnan, Durga Sreenivasan, Krishna Sreenivasan, Shree Sreenivasan, Sharavati Choksi, Shivaay, Naimish Uncle, Mohan Nair, Latha Mohan, Prarthana Mohan, Edward Timpe, Cyrus, Vikram Mohan, Neel, Dasyam Gopika Varma, Radhika Sreehari, Sreehari Pillai, Rukku, Tpgopalakrishnan, Shantha Peramma, Deepa Seetharam, Sitan Chits, Devi Seetharam (all others from the family were with us in spirit).
What I wrote on FB about her passing last year is below, as are the hundreds of wonderful comments from friends and strangers around the world.
Meanwhile, Zach Peterson and I wrote in my newsletter about losing our mothers; me at 52,
