This article engages affectively with key attributes of the words and worlds of Ranajit Guha, who is widely known today as the found er of subaltern studies. On May 23, 2023, this erudite figure of many parts would have reached his hundredth year on our planet. However, he passed away on 28 April, less than a month before reaching the centennial milestone. In the wake of Guha’s departure, rather than an elegy, my essay is a close conversation with the compelling images and critical imaginaries of the indefatigable intellectual. The dialogue interweaves the scholarly and the sensual, the academic and the emotional, the aesthetic and the embodied, rupture and re demption, and memory and loss.
