Book Review: "The Cell and the Soul: A Prison Memoir" by Anand Teltumbde
"The Cell and the Soul: A Prison Memoir" by Anand Teltumbde is a profound exposition of the Indian state, society, and criminal justice system, revealing their inhumane nature.
The book explores the stark realities of prison life in India, chronicling Teltumbde's personal struggles and those of his co-accused, serving as a testament to the resilient spirit of countless imprisoned activists.
It also traces the evolution of Hindutva neo-fascism since the Narendra Modi-led BJP government came to power in 2014.
The book stands as one of the most powerful indictments of a democracy teetering on the brink of collapse.
Author's summary: A powerful indictment of Indian democracy.
