General note |
The world's largest democracy is facing the greatest challenge since the end of British colonial rule in 1947.<br/><br/>The Incarcerations pulls back the curtain on Indian democracy to tell the remarkable and chilling story of the Bhima Koregaon case, in which sixteen human rights defenders (the BK-16)-professors, lawyers, journalists, poets-have been<br/><br/>imprisoned, without credible evidence and without trial, as<br/><br/>Maoist terrorists.<br/><br/>Alpa Shah unravels how these alleged terrorists were charged with inciting violence at a commemoration in 2018, accused of waging a war against the Indian state and plotting to kill Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Expertly leading us through the case,<br/><br/>Shah exposes some of the world's most shocking revelations of cyber warfare research, which show not only the hacking of emails and mobile phones of the BK-16, but also implantation of the electronic evidence that was used to incarcerate them.<br/><br/>Through the life histories of the BK-16, Shah dives deep into the issues they fought for and tells the story of India's three main minorities-Adivasi, Dalits and Muslims-and what the search for democracy entails for them.<br/><br/>Essential and urgent, The Incarcerations reveals how this case is a bellwether for the collapse of democracy in India, as for the first time in the nation's history there is a multipronged, coordinated attack on key defenders of various pillars of democracy. In so doing, Shah shows that democracy today must be not only about protecting the freedom of expression and democratic institutions, but also about supporting and safeguarding the social movements that question our global inequalities.<br/><br/> |
