How narcopolitics, racial capitalism work in Amitav Ghosh’s ‘The Ibis Trilogy’ and ‘Smoke and Ashes’
By Sanjita Majumder| Scroll.in Verified Amitav Ghosh’s book Smoke and Ashes: Opium’s Hidden Histories, shortlisted for the British Academy Prize 2024 weaves together the horticultural, social, and political economy of the colonial opium trade. A work of historical non-fiction that appears to be the preface to his fictional explorations in the Ibis Trilogy – The Sea of Poppies (2008), River of Smoke (2011) and Flood of Fire (2015), three novels based on the Sino-Indian Opium trade of the mid-17th Century.

To me, this novel performs the function of a talisman in the colonial archive. The Cameroonian political theorist Achille Mbembe writes about the power of the talisman in the archive as it is an object that gives those who carry it a feeling of being protected or being the ‘co-owner of time’ in events from the past.
By Sanjita Majumder| The Federal Verified Vinay Shukla’s documentary 'While We Watched,' based on the life of former NDTV news anchor and senior executive Ravish Kumar, offers a glimpse into the collapsing fourth pillar of democracy; the onslaught of right-wing television anchors on broadcast journalism, and fear-mongering Vinay Shukla’s documentary While We Watched envisions a political dystopia of television newsrooms and broadcast journalism in India.
