We wish our splainer fam a very happy Eid—which has come on the heels of an especially difficult period of Ramzan. In places like Khargone, Madhya Pradesh, Eid will be celebrated at home and under curfew—which has been imposed ever since a Ram Navami procession sparked riots, and then a demolition drive. 

Check out the awesome Vir Sanghvi AMA: Last month, we hosted a brilliant conversation with the author—who spoke at length and with great insight about anti-Muslim politics, food writing, Indian media and so much more. Be sure to watch it here.
