An incisive, lyrical, and deeply reported account of Indias descent into authoritarianism. Traveling across India, interviewing Hindu zealots, armed insurgents, jailed dissidents, and politicians and thinkers from across the political spectrum, Siddhartha Deb reveals a country in which forces old and new have aligned to endanger democracy. The result is an absorbingand disturbingportrait. India has become a religious fundamentalist dystopia, one depicted here with a novelists precise language and eye for detail. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his partya formation explicitly drawing on European fascismhas deftly exploited modern technologies, the media, and market forces to launch a relentless campaign on minorities, women, dissenters, and the poor. Deb profiles these people, as well as those fighting back, including writers, scholars, and journalists. Twilight Prisoners sounds the alarm now that the worlds largest democracy is under threat in ways that echo the fissures in the United States, United Kingdom, and socalled democracies the world over.
