The Incarcerations

"The Incarcerations" explores a significant challenge facing Indian democracy through the story of the Bhima Koregaon case, where sixteen human-rights defenders were detained without credible evidence or trial. Alpa Shah uncovers the cyber warfare tactics used to justify their imprisonment and delves into the lives of those involved, highlighting issues faced by India’s main minorities—Adivasi, Dalits, and Muslims. The book offers a compelling look at how this case signals a potential decline of democratic safeguards in India, emphasizing the importance of supporting social movements that challenge global inequalities.
