''Modi-fied'' India: The Transformation of a Nation – is a searing, meticulously evidenced indictment of India’s descent into an ethnonationalist project that betrays the country’s founding constitutional promises including India as a secular democracy. Anchored in his impeccable scholarship, the author makes a case that India is not merely ‘shifting’: it is being systematically reengineered into a Hindutva majoritarian state where non-Hindu communities are disenfranchised, discriminated and variously persecuted, and ultimately made disposable as ‘lesser Indians’. The book is a clear and urgent warning to the world about how democracies die in plain sight.
– Dr. Maung Zarni, genocide scholar and co-author of ‘The Slow-Burning Genocide of Myanmar’s Rohingya’
This book not only goes into the past of India, which is relevant to understand today’s politics but also today’s political phenomenon of the current times. The phenomenon related to partition tragedy is also outlined. It is a comprehensive elaboration of all aspects related to understanding today’s India.
– Dr. Ram Puniyani, President of the Executive Council of the Centre for Study of Society and Secularism (CSSS)
India is going through phenomenal changes politically, economically, socially, technologically and religiously. It is exciting, but quite different from the popular image of India that is unnerving many Indians who see the country heading in the wrong direction. It is also scary for religious and ethnic minorities who find themselves as aliens, if not second- or third-class citizens with instances of infringement on their human rights.
This book is an enthralling, provocative and stimulating account of contemporary India. It challenges major historical narratives and tries to fill the gaps in our understanding of modern India and its people’s history. It is an important work, enriched with reliable facts and figures, which provides critical answers to contentious issues for realigning the country on a pluralistic path.
