A charmed circle denotes a group of individuals who are “special” in some way. As a result, they possess power and privilege. The idea builds on the concept of a centre and its peripheries. A charmed circle would be dead centre, its members occupying the dominant spots across all spectrums of identity including sex, gender, race, religion, region, ethnicity, or class (among other things). The more the individual diverges, the farther away from the centre they end up being.

It is not a surprise that many of the stories in Banu Mushtaq’s Heart Lamp draw on her own experiences. In a recent interview with Anitha Pailoor, she discusses the conviction needed to critically analyze the community to which one belongs:When I started writing in the 1970s, Kannada literature depicted Muslim characters either as highly virtuous or shockingly vile. The black-and-white characters did not reflect the realities of the Muslim community. I wanted to fill the gap.

Rakesh: When we started out, Rashmi and I were frustrated with what felt like a suffocating sameness about most of the Indian writing available in English bookstores. It seemed like everything was about delicate sad women, with mangoes and sari borders on the covers. While those books still exist, things have opened up a lot — there’s more writing in different genres, more translations, more experiments.

No better time than now to re-plug my review of Heart Lamp by Banu Mushtaq tr. Deepa Bhasthi. This came out in Words Without Borders last month and it brings me so much joy to see the stunning collection win the 2025 International Booker Prize.
For my first review on @wwborders, I wrote about women's interiority and patriarchal resistance in Heart Lamp (@andothertweets), Banu Mushtaq's 2025 IBP shortlisted collection in a superb translation by Deepa Bhasthi. These stories are magnificent! https://t.co/eJqC2C6te9
