This eye-opener, shocking book tells you with great authority how the minorities and the underprivileged are being persecuted by the State and the police in India.
Indian laws are defined in a large number of bold judgments of the Supreme Court. The State and the police are supposed to follow them. However, there is a huge and frustrating gap between what is lawfully expected of the State and what it delivers to its citizens.
Application of the laws by the State is discriminatory and loaded against the minorities and the poor—in fact, anybody who is perceived as dissatisfied or disagreeing with the regime. This is evident from the partisan role of the police during communal riots and their implicating a large number of Muslim youths under false terror charges from which they could get justice only after their lives, families, livelihoods, and social prestige; everything was destroyed by years in jail.
Law has, in fact, been ‘weaponized’ by the State as the most preferred tool of persecution of all those who dissent—abuse of the sedition law being most rampant. Constitutional values are being violated by an abuse of the law.
If the police are able to regularly defy the orders of the Supreme Court, it means they are assured of protection by a partisan State or the party in power whose political agenda they seek to further.
In a police State, the government abuses its legal powers over everybody. India has, however, become worse than a police State as legal powers are used to ‘selectively’ target and persecute a part of the citizenry, namely the minorities and the underprivileged.
This book awakens the readers to the horrors of the combined might of majoritarian aggression and abuse of State power in their support.
It exposes all that is ugly, beastly and ghastly with the Indian State, its criminal justice system and the devious means through which justice is denied to the minorities and the underprivileged.
This book evokes powerful emotions but is not an emotional outburst—it is based on incontrovertible legal and scientific facts.
Authenticated by a formidable array of as many as 385 judgments of the Indian Supreme Court, 79 judgments of American supreme courts, 68 case studies and 812 references, this is the ultimate resource of all the knowledge one needs to know to fight oppression—so vital for activists, media persons, academicians, legal fraternity and above all the common citizens.
If you have been a sufferer of State persecution or fall in one of the vulnerable groups, you will find solace and hope in it. If you have escaped unhurt so far by sheer chance, it will jolt you out of your complacent slumber because you could be the next victim.
For the Indian readers, this book is the ultimate reference for all they always wanted to know about what the police and the State do to the citizens, but never found anybody to ask—a brilliant exposition on lawful expectations versus horrid reality.
For the international readers, this book is an eye-opener. It tells them how beneath the façade of the world’s largest democracy, India has actually been reduced to an illiberal democracy at best and an elected autocracy at worst.
