Saleem Kidwai was a renowned historian and translator, an editor, and a queer elder. He was also a close friend of legendary singer Begum Akhtar. This Sunday I will have the great pleasure of talking about them for the curtain-raiser of this year's Sanatkada Festival in Kolkata:
A graphic with a green and red background and ornate black and white border, and the Lucknow Bioscope and Sanatkada Festival logos. Text above image reads: 'A Noteless Raga': Saleem Kidwai and Begum Akhtar by Shreya Ila Anasuya, and text below image reads 14th Dec 2025, Sunday 6.30 pm, Studio Bari, Kolkata. Image shows a black and white picture of Shreya wearing a saree and her long dark hair swept to her right shoulder. Black text against a yellow background reads: Shreya Ila Anasuya is an award-winning writer and researcher from Kolkata whose body of work examines history, gender, music, mythology and the supernatural, which she has explored through fiction, research, editing, journalism, teaching, and performance. She is currently a PhD candidate in cultural history at King's College London. Her short fiction has appeared in magazines and anthologies including A Case of Indian Marvels: Dazzling Stories from the Country's Finest New Writers. Her first novel, The Poison Palace, will be published in early 2027. The yellow background is superimposed onto a green design with an ornate black and white border, and has the logo of the Sanatkada festival on top.

Kolkata on a Sunday.
A river, light blue and grey, with a pale sun and hazy bridge in the distance. In the foreground to the left are clustered some small boats, one more is in the centre, and one further to the right. There are buildings visible to the right, beyond the furthest boat.
