INQUILAB
A word that brings patriotism instantly to Indian minds. That is what lead me to this book. That and the premise of 'A decade of protest' is extremely interesting. The book is a collection of speeches,letters and articles around the protests India has seen in last decade.
Personally, I liked the book, not the preface. It might be just me, but the preface felt more like an attack on current government than being a introduction to the book. Agreeably, I expected a lot more from this book as well but it has beautifully managed to remain neutral and just state the facts. But, it would have been great if there were some kind of analysis after every occurence. Stating the plain letters/articles has made the book a bit boring.
Should you read? Yes, it gives much knowledge and information on our country. But if you are a fiction lover and don't usually read non fiction, you may find it a bit difficult.

Such a perfect explanation of the unfortunate state of affairs in India today. Every single Indian should read this to truly see our nation in a new light. AMAZING
