In the first essay in the PEN America-sponsored Freedom to Learn Series @madebyhistory @washingtonpost, Jonathan Zimmerman explores the history of the history wars. "We cannot celebrate... freedom of thought and then tell every individual what to think." https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2022/08/15/truth-about-history-education-wars-2022/

I was honored and overwhelmed to contribute my piece, "Istiqlal," to this incredible collection. Threats to Indian (and U.S.) democracy are palpable, and frightening. May all beings be free, and free from harm. Keep writing, my people. #SalmanRushdie #IndiaAt75 #FreedomToWrite https://twitter.com/PENamerica/status/1559162982604709890
