The New India: The Unmaking of the World's Largest Democracy

"An unrepentant Nazi. A movement to purify Hinduism in response to British colonialism. A dusty book on a forgotten bookshelf in Delhi. A tech evangelist creates a database of every Indian citizen, but why? A Muslim man fighting for justice, tilting at well-worn windmills. Rahul Bhatia weaves all these elements together to look at the endemic challenges to India’s democracy – and also the newer challenges – threatening it all. This book should be heavy, yet it is so readable, so swiftly sketched, that it’s a page-turner. It’s like a mystery novel, with India as the main character."
