Disunion

About this book

There are multitudes who now realise how extraordinary and brave the idea of India was to begin with; there is a resurgent struggle against its extinction, and the assertion of new voices to wrest the republic from the forces of religious majoritarianism. As India moves from defective secularism to de facto Hindu supremacism, it can no longer invoke the foundational arguments of the state to retain non-Hindus within its fold. Nowhere is the hazard of disunion more apparent than in Jammu and Kashmir. Read about its history in Disunion: A Short History of the New India an extract from the book Malevolent Republic: A Short History of the New India. Revised edition: This edition of Disunion includes editorial revisions.
