Product Description
An insider's account of India's policing, intelligence system, national security challenges and democratic institutions from one of the country's most experienced law enforcement leaders. Raised in the politically turbulent Bihar of the 1970s, a period marked by democratic movements, gang wars and caste militias—Yashovardhan Azad, son of freedom fighter, Union Minister and former Bihar Chief Minister Bhagwat Jha Azad, spent over four decades at the heart of India's law enforcement and intelligence establishment. From the dusty police stations of rural India to the highest corridors of power, his career offers a rare window into the institutions that shape the Republic. In Policing the Republic, Azad delivers a powerful and unflinching examination of Indian policing, corruption, criminalisation of politics, terrorism, insurgency, intelligence operations, governance and national security. Drawing on firsthand experience, he reveals how political interference, systemic corruption and institutional weaknesses have undermined justice and weakened the democratic ideals promised to India's citizens. More than a memoir, this thought-provoking book is a compelling analysis of the structural challenges facing modern India. With clarity and authority, Azad explores the evolution of India's internal security landscape, examines the functioning of the police and intelligence agencies, and presents practical, policy-driven solutions for meaningful institutional reform. Essential reading for civil services aspirants, UPSC candidates, policymakers, law enforcement professionals, political science students, historians, journalists, legal practitioners and readers interested in Indian politics, governance and public administration, Policing the Republic provides invaluable insight into how the Indian state functions and how it can be strengthened for the future. A rare insider's perspective on India's police, intelligence and security apparatus. Explores critical issues including corruption, political criminalisation, terrorism, insurgency and governance. Offers practical reforms for building stronger democratic institutions and accountable policing. Ideal for readers of Indian politics, public policy, law enforcement, governance, history and current affairs. Read more
