Thank you for this rich and evocative engagement with Jinnealogy. I was especially struck by your exploration of shadows—both literal and metaphorical—and how they frame not only the space of Firoz Shah Kotla but also the ethical and affective dimensions of Taneja’s work. Your mention of Muqarnas architecture as an “anarchic interplay of light and shadow” resonated deeply. These intricate, honeycomb-like vaults do more than dazzle visually—they embody a cosmology where divine plenitude and absence are in dynamic tension.
