NDTV Loves Books!

In the fourth episode of NDTV Loves Books!, NDTV's Gargi Rawat speaks to journalist Jyoti Yadav about her book Faith and Fury, a powerful account of the COVID pandemic beyond India's big cities. Travelling across villages and small towns during the crisis, Yadav documented the migrant exodus, the collapse of healthcare systems, and the human cost of the pandemic in rural India. She reflects on witnessing death and resilience on the ground, the challenges of reporting during a crisis, and why it was important to record what she calls the "subaltern history" of COVID.
