Product Description
“The secular republic is not an abstraction. It is the thing between you and the mob.” On 28 February 2002, a mob stopped my car on a burning road in Naroda Patiya and demanded proof that I was a Hindu. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my wallet. I showed my Driving License. My name alone was enough. Had I forgotten my wallet, they would have stripped me to check my identity ? and I wouldn’t have been alive to tell this story, because I am circumcised for medical reasons. That’s the book. Roots of Resistance is my memoir of a Gujarat-born Congress worker from a family that came during Partition, who carried both identity and ideology through the 2002 riots, the 2014 upheaval, and the continuing fight to defend India’s constitutional soul. Part memoir, part warning, it is a fearless witness to what is at stake when secular values come under siege. Honest about Failure. Rigorous about truth. Savage about the stakes. For anyone seeking to understand modern India, this book is essential reading. Read more
