Seems like history has ceased to be boring, particularly when fictionalised. That’s what the page, Honest Indian Histories has been playing with since earlier this year. At times, Arvind Kejriwal turns into Joseph Stalin and on other occasions, a brawl between police and activists turns into dandiya, with imaginative captions. Already, the page has over 9,000 followers. Extracts from a chat with co-founder, Raya Sarkar.
