In this short but impactful essay, Arundhati Roy examines the rise of nationalism in India and its relationship to the country's nuclear program. Roy argues that the pursuit of nuclear weapons is a form of colonialism and that it threatens democracy and freedom of expression. The book is a scathing critique of power and violence, and a defense of imagination and resistance. Published by Anagrama, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in politics, culture, and social justice in contemporary India.
