Description

The Incarcerations by Alpa Shah is a gripping and rigorous crime story about the murder of India's democracy. In 2018, 16 human rights defenders were imprisoned without trial or evidence, accused of inciting violence and plotting to kill the Indian Prime Minister. Expertly leading us through this shocking case, Shah exposes the world's most disturbing revelations of cyber warfare research and the life histories of those behind bars. Through the stories of these individuals, Shah delves into the issues they fought for - the struggles of India's three main minorities: Adivasi, Dalits, and Muslims. He reveals how their fight for democracy is a bellwether for the collapse of democracy in India, as never before has there been a multi-pronged attack on key defenders of various pillars of democracy. This book pulls back the curtain on Indian democracy, exposing an arsenal of lethal weapons that threaten its very existence. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in politics, human rights, and social justice, The Incarcerations is a chilling and urgent expose that will leave you questioning the state of democracy today.
