In what ways have dissent, debate, and discussion been systematically muzzled? How do lofty political promises actually translate into law? In this compelling and incisive book, veteran parliamentarian Derek O'Brien writes from the very front row to interrogate false media narratives, power politics, and the erosion of India's most sacred democratic institutions over the last decade. Backed by thorough research, hard statistics, and sharp first-hand observations, O'Brien carries forward the proud tradition of the argumentative Indian. Powerful, thought-provoking, and deeply urgent, these essays serve as an essential guide and inspiration for anyone engaged in the battle against misinformation, political guarantees, and the fight for a stronger democratic future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFirst-Hand Parliamentary Insight:\u003c\/b\u003e Written by Derek O'Brien, a prominent, firebrand Member of Parliament offering an insider's perspective on Indian politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRigorous \u0026amp; Fact-Based:\u003c\/b\u003e Backed by thorough research, data, and statistics tracing the policy shifts and institutional changes of the last decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncisive Political Commentary:\u003c\/b\u003e Examines key issues surrounding free speech, legislative dissent, media narratives, and the making of Indian law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmpowering \u0026amp; Inspiring:\u003c\/b\u003e Encourages readers to stay engaged in the democratic process and combat political misinformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Perfect Gift:\u003c\/b\u003e An essential, thought-provoking present for political scientists, journalists, policy analysts, and anyone deeply interested in contemporary Indian affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BEETLE BOOK SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52691769393435,"sku":null,"price":424.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/2150\/0699\/files\/81-3WnQGG-L._SL1500.jpg?v=1785305377","url":"https:\/\/beetlebookshop.com\/hi\/products\/politics-policy-and-predictions","provider":"Beetle Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
