The articles are responses at a point in time, but why the book is important is because they are relevant even now. They are about the arduous task of building democracy and charting the contours of the justice system, in its everyday guise as well as when it sets out to make and implement policies. Authoritarianism, Balagopal points out, lies immanent in the dominance of the ‘national’ project by the hegemonic classes and castes. The elites have deliberately sought to work this as well as regional contradictions to their advantage. They do this by building a repository of social contempt and negativity against shifting targets - religious minorities, workers, civil rights activists, political dissenters, dalits and adivasis movements, and protesting women. Balagopal writes about how in India, the alchemy between caste, class and the State creates a uniquely Indian alloy of fascism. Reading them gives the impression that he was standing on top of a tall tower with a powerful pair of binoculars which enabled him to see what nobody else could. In truth there was no tower, and no binoculars, just an extremely fine, courageous, and honest mind, looking around at what others turn away from. Arundhati Roy

In today’s fast-moving world and tough competitive day-to-day life, the youth hardly find time for remembrance of our rich heritage and past. This becomes more important when the nation celebrates seventy fifth year of independence. The fight against colonial rule in India constitutes a unique narrative, one which is not marred by violence. Rather a narrative that is full of variegated stories of valour, bravery, satyagraha, dedication, and supreme sacrifice for the freedom of the motherland. This book on unsung warriors is an attempt to recall and remember forgotten heroes of our freedom struggle, many of whom might be renowned yet unknown to the new generation. The aim of recreating and bringing forth stories, which lay as faded memories of the past, shall serve as a medium of inspiration and encouragement for the coming generations.

In The Weapon of the Other: Dalitbahujan Writings and the Remaking of Indian Nationalist Thought, contends the projection of Hindu religious texts as sources of Indian nationalist thought since colonial times while the Buddhist scriptures, the Bible and the Quran, whose readers were far more numerous, are relegated to the periphery of discussions about nationalism. He explores Indian nationalism from a different perspective, and discusses the political core of liberatory ideas as well as modern thinker-activists.

Cinema is one of the most influential instruments in opinion building, and Indian cinema is no exception to this case. Indian cinema explores the niche of nationalism at the heart of the collective consciousness of several generations of Bharat’s (India’s) people. The contribution made to nation and opinion building by the Indian cinema community is not adequately acknowledged, and so this book celebrates these unsung heroes' contributions and ponders the power of cinema in perception building. This collection of essays examines the role played by Indian cinema in narrating, inspiring, determining, and challenging our comprehension of India as a nation.
