Mukul Kesavan is an Indian writer. His first book - Looking Through Glass (Farrar Straus & Giroux, 1994) received wide acclaim and became a bestseller. He teaches social history at Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi. He's keen on the game of cricket[1] but in a non-playing way.

Later in the year he wrote, The Ugliness of the Indian Male and Other Propositions published by Black Kite. The book is a collection of essays on a wide variety of themes ranging from Indian films to Indian men to travel writing and even political commentary.
