About this book
Compelling Reading For Anyone Who Is Invested In Understanding Their Own Identity As A Citizen Of India And The World.
As Countries Across The World Increasingly Tilt Towards Authoritarian Regimes, And As State Overreach Becomes Normalised, This Book Asks: How Do We Safeguard The Spirit Of Democracy? Why Has Silencing Citizens Come To Be A Central Preoccupation Of Governments Across Continents? Why Must We Root For Constitutional Values And Conduct In Our Pursuit Of Secularism, Equality And Justice? And Why, In India, Has Respect For Diversity And Tolerance Become More Important Than Ever Before?
Thoughtful And Provocative, Citizen Under Siege Is A Deeply Anguished Response By Literary Scholar And Cultural Activist G.N. Devy To The Present State Of Affairs In India. It Is A Timely Reminder That Fearless Citizenry Is The Soul Of Democracy.
