I Could Not Be Hindu: The Story Of A Dalit In The RSS

Bhanwar Meghwanshi, Nivedita Menon (Tr.)

Bhanwar Meghwanshi joined the RSS at the young age of 13. He rose within the ranks, despite being a Dalit, and gained the post of the district chief officer of Bhilwara. He lived and breathed Hindutva, and hated Muslims without having met any. He mocked the political leader by calling him ‘Mulla-Yam’ Singh, participated in riots and went to jail. Yet, as a Dalit, he remains a ‘lesser’ Hindu. In this trailblazing memoir, translated into English for the first time, a staunch Hindutva devotee talks about why he became an Ambedkarite and made it his mission to expose the façade of Hindutva.

Sixteen Stormy Days: The Story Of The First Amendment Of The Constitution Of India

Tripurdaman Singh

The Indian Constitution finally came into being in 1950 following three years of debate, yet it was radically changed in June 1951 after a mere 16-day debate. What was the reason for such an extreme change, given that it curbed most of the liberal rights mentioned in the Constitution? The First Amendment restricted freedom of speech, gave permission for caste-based reservation and made a special provision for unconstitutional laws that were above any judicial interference. PM Jawaharlal Nehru made radical changes to the Constitution, leading to a huge divide between what was promised to the people, and what we actually received. This is one book that should definitely be on your TBR list.

Republic Of Religion: The Rise And Fall Of Colonial Secularism In India

Abhinav Chandrachud

Many of India’s laws are based on the laws of the English, who ruled over us for over 150 years. Our parliamentary democracy and many of the phrases used in our courts are also derived from England. But, during its colonial rule, England was not a secular country. Their royalty needed to be Protestant, the Archbishop of Canterbury is appointed by the government, and bishops still sit in the House of Lords. So, where did India’s secularism come from? Abhinav Chandrachud’s book maintains that it was an atypical and forceful imposition by the colonial powers. The author argues why secularism was bound to collapse once colonial rule came to an end. This book is a must read on the topic of secularism in India, especially in the wake of the CAA,.
