India Club Staff Picks: October 2026

Five distinctive finds from the India Club shelves, handpicked for October.

This month’s selections travel across Indian culture and storytelling — from Ayurveda and traditional healing to folktales, stories from the Raj, the life and music of the legendary Begum Akhtar, and acclaimed regional Indian fiction in English translation.

An eclectic mix, just as a visit to the India Club shelves should be.
