The incarcerations

Shah, Alpa, 1976-2025
Books
Indian democracy is facing the greatest challenge since the end of British colonial rule in 1947. 'The Incarcerations' tells the remarkable and chilling story of the unravelling of Indian democracy through the Bhima Koregaon case, in which 16 people - scholars, lawyers, democratic rights activists, artists and poets - have been imprisoned, without credible evidence and without trial, as Maoist terrorists. Alpa Shah expertly leads us through the case, telling how the alleged terrorists were charged with inciting violence at a 2018 New Year's Day celebration, where none of them were present, and then accused of plotting to kill the Indian prime minister.
