<p><i>Whither Human Rights in India</i>, edited by Anand Teltumbde, one of India's prominent human rights activists, is a searing and indispensable anthology that brings together some of the most important thinkers, activists and human rights defenders of our time. The essays trace the historical and ideological roots of India's human rights discourse--from colonial legacies and constitutional guarantees to the challenges posed by majoritarian politics, state violence and systemic inequality. </p><p>Contributors critically examine institutions and practices shaping the current landscape: judicial responses, hate speech, impunity, 'bulldozer justice' and contested models of development. They also turn to the lived realities of vulnerable communities--Dalits, Adivasis, Muslims, Christians, women, children, LGBTQI+ people and prisoners--whose struggles for dignity illuminate the larger battle for justice and democracy. </p><p>Featuring incisive contributions from Harsh Mander, Kalpana Kannabiran, Aakar Patel, Teesta Setalvad, Gautam Navlakha, Mihir Desai and others, this volume offers an unflinching exploration of human rights at a critical juncture in India's history. </p><p>Dedicated to the memory of Father Stan Swamy and Prof. G. N. Saibaba, <i>Whither Human Rights in India </i>is both a record of resistance and a call to rethink the future of democracy and human dignity. </p>
