Conversation with Anuj Bahri Malhotra, bookseller, publisher, literary agent, custodian of Delhi’s iconic Bahrisons Booksellers

A family history shaped by Partition. A lifetime spent among books. And a world being rewritten by technology.

In the latest episode of In Conversation with Salman Khurshid, India’s former External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid speaks with Anuj Bahri Malhotra, bookseller, publisher, literary agent, and custodian of Delhi’s iconic Bahrisons Booksellers in Khan Market.

Against the backdrop of a family journey shaped by Partition, the conversation explores the rise of AI, literature, banned books, freedom of expression, and the changing world of ideas. As algorithms increasingly shape what we read, watch, and believe, the discussion asks who gets to influence ideas, and who gets to challenge them.
