AZADI: FASCISM FICTION FREEDOM (EXPANDED EDITION) (PB)

The chant of 'Azadi!' - Urdu for 'Freedom!' - is the slogan of the freedom struggle in Kashmir against what Kashmiris see as the Indian Occupation. Ironically, it also became the chant of millions on the streets of India against the project of Hindu Nationalism. In this expanded series of electrifying essays, Arundhati Roy challenges us to reflect not only on the meaning of freedom in a world of growing authoritarianism, but also on the legacy of the Pandemic. For all the illness and devastation it has left in its wake, it is an invitation to the human race, an opportunity, to imagine another world.
