520			_aTraveling across India, interviewing Hindu zealots, armed insurgents, jailed dissidents, and politicians and thinkers from across the political spectrum, Siddhartha Deb reveals a country in which forces old and new have aligned to endanger democracy.

What's emerging in the world's largest democracy is nothing less than an fundamental dystopia, described here with a novelist's precise language and eye for detail.
