Transit Talks is an account of the exchange of mails/books/papers between a teacher and a student (Abhimanyu and Noor). They locate the local and global faces of communalism and fascism watching through the prism of events in Afghanistan, Palestine, Gujrat in 2002, and later through the more recent events in the popular and electoral politics of India. They find credence from the work of great poets, writers, social thinkers, and philosophers like Faiz, Manto, Karl Marx, Amartya Sen, Adorno, Althusser, Focault, Barthes, and Bauman.
