Why Indians have stopped reading|Scroll Adda (Open Thread)

Some links I found interesting:

1) Why Indians have stopped reading|Scroll Adda

(Note: This is obviously not peculiar to India.  Reading for pleasure–especially of Literature– is down all over the world)

2) Motorsports: Learning To Drift 

This is about Dina Rohinton Patel, a 22 year old from Karachi who has been crowned Pakistan’s first female drifter.

I personally don’t know anything about motorsports but this is a human interest story about a young Pakistani woman–especially one from a non-Muslim minority.  Contrary to what many on BP seem to think, not everything is doom and gloom in Pakistan.

I am Pakistani-American. I am a Hindustani classical vocalist and ethnomusicologist. I hold a B.A from George Washington University (Dramatic Literature, Western Music) and an M.Mus (Ethnomusicology) from SOAS, University of London. My dissertation “A New Explanation for the Decline of Hindustani Music in Pakistan” has recently been published by Aks Publications (Lahore 2024). Samples of my singing can be heard on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Le1RnQQJUeKkkXj5UCKfB
