Thinking and Its Futures Past: On Questioning as the Interspace (antarikṣa) of Thinking and Poesy in the Sub-continent

The inaugural Monsoon 2026 issue of Prāśnika, titled “Thinking and its Futures Past: On Questioning as the Interspace (antarikṣa) of Thinking and Poesy in the Sub-continent,” turns to questioning as the basic posture of thought. It inquires into the ways in which questioning has taken shape in the subcontinent at the tense intersection of vicāra (thinking) and kāvya (poesy), and how that shared history influences our present understanding, and to harness our ability to question. Rather than treating poetry as mere ornament and philosophy as pure critique, this issue re-enacts their sahodaratā, their siblinghood, as co-originary (equiprimordial) practices of questioning.
