  • Beyond The Guardian: What Is Really Happening With India’s Reading Culture

    Beyond The Guardian: What Is Really Happening With India’s Reading Culture
    Feb 17 2026
    After a controversial article by The Guardian questioned India’s reading culture, this episode of Not Your Aunty asks a simple question. Is India really not reading, or are we just reading differently? Kiran Manral and Shunali Khullar Shroff go beyond the headline narrative and look at what is actually happening on the ground. From packed crowds at Jaipur Literature Festival to massive footfalls at the Kolkata Book Fair, the lived experience tells a far more complex story. In this episode, we explore: • Why regional language publishing is booming • How literature festivals are actively creating new readers • The rise of book clubs, translations and cross language readership • The disappearance of lending libraries and what that shift really means • Whether cheap internet and doomscrolling are reshaping attention spans • Why independent bookstores like Atta Galatta still see powerful reader engagement India publishes nearly 90,000 new titles annually and remains one of the largest publishing industries in the world. So are we witnessing decline, or transformation? This episode looks at India’s storytelling legacy, the economics of publishing, the cultural power of lit fests, and why books may be thriving in ways that traditional metrics fail to capture. Watch till the end for a nuanced, ground level perspective on India’s reading culture. #NotYourAunty #ReadingCulture #IndianPublishing #LitFests #BooksOfIndia About Us: 🌟 Not Your Aunty Podcast 🎙️ | Parenting 👪 Relationships 💑 Body Positivity 💛 Get ready to laugh out loud with the hilarious "Not Your Aunty" podcast!
