Soft cover. Zustand: New. In early 2020 the first cases of Covid-19 infection were confirmed in India, and on 24 March the country's prime minister announced a nationwide lockdown, giving the population of over 1.3 billion just four hours' notice. Within days, it became evident that India had plunged into its biggest humanitarian crisis since Partition. In this powerful book, Harsh Mander shows us how grave this crisis was and continues to be, and why it is the direct consequence of public policy choices that the Indian government made, particularly of imposing the world's longest and most stringent lockdown, with the smallest relief package. The Indian state abandoned its poor and marginalized, even as it destroyed their livelihoods and pushed them to the brink of starvation. Mander brings us voices of out-of-work daily-wage and informal workers, the homeless and the destitute, all overwhelmed by hunger and dread. From the highways and overcrowded quarantine centres, he brings us stories of migrant workers who walked hundreds of kilometres to their villages or were prevented from doing so and detained. He lays bare the criminal callousness at the heart of a strategy that forced people to stay indoors in a country where tens of crores live in congested shanties or single rooms with no possibility of physical distancing, no toilets and no running water. Combining ground reports with hard data, Mander argues with great clarity and passion that India is in the middle of a humanitarian catastrophe, the effects of which will be felt for decades.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), passed by the Parliament of India in December 2019, promises citizenship to migrants of the 'Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian community from Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Pakistan'. By excluding Muslims from the list and not extending the promise to refugees from any of India's non-Muslim-majority neighbours, the CAA makes religion the basis of citizenship for the first time in the history of the Republic. Many fear that this Act, coupled with a countrywide National Register of Citizens (NRC), will eventually be used to disenfranchise India's Muslims, or to trap them in a permanent state of fear and insecurity, which has been the fate of millions of Bengali-origin Muslims of Assam. This Land Is Mine, I Am Not of This Land brings together a comprehensive selection of essays that deal with the theoretical, political and subjective aspects of this issue. The first section traces the evolution of citizenship in India. The following section deals with the peculiar case of Assam. Covered here are the bureaucratic travesties unleashed in the name of protecting the state from 'external aggression' as well as their sobering human cost. The concluding sections expose the superfluousness of the National Population Register (NPR), and pose serious questions on the constitutionality of the CAA. The book argues that with a key value like citizenship in question, it is not just the destinies of India's citizens but the very democratic foundation of the Republic that is at stake.…

Soft cover. Zustand: As New. 1st Edition. Freedom remains bitterly contested in Independent India. Democracy works only for some, who thrive in its liberties, security and choice. Others are condemned to life-sentences variously of hunger, homelessness, stigma, fear, penury and neglect. In this collection of essays, written between 2004 and 2011, we encounter many of these exiles from India's secular democracychildren living on the streets, households battling hunger, communities battling the politics of hate; we encounter injustice and suffering, but also resistance and hope. These essays straddle many subjects-people and policies, books and films. Within these pages, we witness a giant nation-at once old and new, dark and shining, cruel and compassionate, unfree and free. The author weaves an alternative tapestry of diverse images and voices, portraying India in the early years of the twenty-first century.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. This is a book about the Kashmir valley-lacerated, wrathful, aflame. The authors travelled across it in the winter of 2016, during a journey undertaken in a spirit of solidarity with the people of the region. It is a disturbing account of children blinded by pellet guns, of a government in a bitter state of undeclared war with its own civilian populations, of the rage of stone-throwing youth and the hubris of military generals. The book also attempts a concise history of the conflict in the valley and makes a strong plea for humanity, for fairness, and for justice. The authors argue, there should be no denying a just peace to the embattled people of the valley. The concluding words of the book sum it up precisely: 'We are told that a nation cannot be strong if it is ethical or compassionate; that these are despicable signs of weakness; that a strong state is a state that is without morality or mercy. Who will tell them how wrong they are? That it is only the weak who fell those who are weaker, whose hearts are empty of mercy, who celebrate the weeping of children. The truly strong are those who have the courage to be kind and just.'.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Indian state responded to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic with the world's most sudden, comprehensive and punishing lockdown. Overnight, there was an explosion of joblessness leading to a large-scale hunger crisis. Highways across the country became the location of one of the largest distress movements of humans in history as migrant workers and their families risked their lives to walk hundreds of kilometres to reach their home districts. The fractures of our societyacross caste, class, gender, religion and ethnicitywere laid bare and exacerbated. This anthology of narrative essays documents the time the mask came off, revealing the distress, shock and resilience of the most vulnerable groups in India as they bore the brunt of state negligence and brutal apathy. It reveals the psychological toll of the loss of dignity that came with looming uncertainty for the working class as well as the struggles of relief volunteers to process the shock of witnessing mass hunger and deprivation. This book lends a human face to this immense state-created tumult in the lives of the working poor and destitute, with their stories and voices. This is a history we must not repeat, therefore a history we must not forget.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. '[A] courageous book that holds those in positions of power to account for stoking hate and division and profiting from it. An urgent, indispensable read for all those who care about the country's future.'—Kunal Purohit, author of H-Pop: The Secretive World of Hindutva Pop Stars Since 2014, hate speech in India has moved from the political fringe to the centre of public life. It is heard from election platforms and religious stages, repeated in television studios, circulated through WhatsApp and YouTube, and rewarded with votes, influence and profit. It calls for minorities to be boycotted, evicted, stripped of their livelihoods, driven from neighbourhoods and, increasingly, met with violence. These words have consequences. They create the climate in which homes and shops are demolished, and ordinary citizens are lynched, intimidated, and made to prove, again and again, that they belong to their own country. Human rights activist Harsh Mander examines how this hatred is produced, spread and protected; who profits from it; and what happens when those who incite fear also command the machinery of the state. Drawing on several case studies, including his own attempt to seek legal action against politicians for incendiary speeches delivered in the lead-up to the communal riots in Delhi in 2020, Mander asks whether the law can still protect the vulnerable—or whether it has become another weapon in the hands of the powerful. It Started with Words is a book about how violence begins long before the first blow is struck. It is a warning about the direction in which India is being pushed, one that no concerned citizen can afford to ignore.…
