2024 (eBook, ePUB)

India in Free Fall

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

India awaits the next general elections, in 2024, with breathless anticipation. Under Narendra Modi's decade-long tenure as Prime Minister, the country has made worldwide headlines for its democratic downslide, crackdown on press freedoms, and a rise in crony capitalism, communal hate and caste bigotry, institutional debilitation, demagoguery, and the putting place of a majoritarian infrastructure.

If these trends continue, the largest democracy in the world faces an uncertain fate. In this compelling and important new book-2024-former Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha argues that India appears to be in a state of free fall. Covering issues and subjects as potent as the othering of Muslim minorities, the bulldozing of citizen's rights and homes, the dismantling of the judiciary and the socio-economic mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic, Jha investigates the questions that must urgently be asked before India goes to the polls, yet again.
