2025 was an intense reading year for me — emotionally, politically, and intellectually.
In this video, I share my top 5 favourite books of 2025, books that stayed with me long after I finished reading them.
This is not a generic recommendation list. These books challenged my ideas about memory, identity, politics, violence, survival, and the human condition.
📚 Books discussed in this video: • Ret Samadhi by Geetanjali Shree
• The Grudges of Gajanan Godbole
• Ham on Rye
• Maus
• Political Violence in Ancient India
In this video, I talk about: • Why Ret Samadhi is one of the most important literary works I’ve read
• How Gajanan Godbole captures middle-class frustration and resentmen
• Why Ham on Rye still feels brutally honest decades later
• How Maus redefines what graphic novels can achieve
• What Political Violence in Ancient India teaches us about power, state, and society
This list includes fiction, memoir-like writing, graphic literature, and academic history, making it a well-rounded reading year.

2025 reading wrap-up that goes beyond trends, this video is for you.
