Walking With The Comrades by Arundhati Roy

A gripping travelogue and investigative account of the Maoist insurgency in central India, based on journeys through the forests of Bastar in Chhattisgarh where the narrator lives among Adivasi communities and guerrilla fighters; it documents state and paramilitary violence (including anti-insurgent campaigns), corporate-driven mining and dispossession, human-rights abuses and legal injustices, and explores how neglect, resource extraction and fractured development fuel resistance and the daily struggles and resilience of marginalized villagers.
