Identitti

In her satirical debut, Identitti, Mithu Sanyal follows Nivedita, a German Indian doctoral student who idolizes her postcolonial studies professor, Saraswati, until a shocking revelation disrupts her life: Saraswati is actually white. This discovery prompts Nivedita to grapple with her own identity and the ramifications of her admiration for an authority figure. As the ensuing scandal ignites discussions across social media and among friends, Nivedita reflects on her experiences, questioning the lessons learned and the complexities of identity politics in a digital age.
