2024: India In Free Fall By Sanjay Jha in paperback

 

With Prime Minister Narendra Modi leading India for the past decade, the country has gained widespread attention for establishing a majoritarian infrastructure which has led to a crackdown on press freedom, erosion of civil liberties, and religious tensions. In addition, there has been a rise in caste discrimination, weakening of institutions, and use of demagoguery, resulting in a decline of democracy. In 2024, former Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha presents his perspective that India is currently in a state of free fall. As the country approaches another election, Jha raises urgent concerns including the marginalization of minority groups, violation of citizens' rights and destruction of homes, as well as the covert dismantling of the judiciary and the unchecked growth of crony capitalism and income inequality. This compelling and significant work is essential reading for those invested in the future of the nation and their own.
