Few authors know the might of the pen over the sword like novelist and columnist Aatish Taseer, who has been both celebrated and censured for his work by individuals and governments. Born to an Indian Sikh mother and a Pakistani Muslim father, Aatish Taseer is a writer whose background gives him unique insight into the politics of the Subcontinent. Akshobh Giridharadas spoke with him during the height of the pandemic about politics and identity and how his personal journey influenced his career as a writer.
