The Daryaganj Book Bazaar, and the World it Built | BookShook

In her book 'The Sunday Book Bazaar: Daryaganj and the Making of a Reading Public in Delhi', Assistant Professor at BML Munjal University Kanupriya Dhingra provides an ethnographic account of the market – the space, the vendors, the buyers – and what it has come to mean. In this episode of BookShook, she speaks to The Wire's Managing Editor Jahnavi Sen about this particular world of books.
