May turns to the city, the body, and the layered question of who belongs. An excerpt and review of Anisha Lalvani’s Girls Who Stray place a young woman’s grief in Delhi’s haunted geography; Athmaja Biju speaks with artist Rithika Merchant on posthuman survival and utopia; P.K. Rosy — Malayalam cinema’s first Dalit heroine — is finally named and reclaimed; and Ashwani Kumar’s poems move between Kolkata, desire, and exile. An issue about stray paths and erased legacies.
