Politics, Policy and Predictions

In this compelling new book, firebrand Parliamentarian Derek O’Brien confronts some of the most pressing questions about Indian democracy under the ruling dispensation in the last decade. How has dissent and discussion within Parliament been ‘muzzled’? How have the inner workings and processes of Parliament changed? How have lofty political promises converted to law? Ever forthright and courageous, O’Brien follows in the footsteps of the argumentative Indian to interrogate false media narratives and power politics in the country. His astute observations, backed with thorough research and statistics, present not only ahistory of one of the most sacred institutions of the country but also trace a fact-forfact erosion of that status in the last decade.Politics, Policy and Predictions will make for interesting reading for those who findthemselves fighting a ceaseless and often disenchanting battle against misinformationand false political guarantees.
