Listening To Grasshoppers by Arundhati Roy
Field Notes on Democracy
A fiery collection of essays that interrogates contemporary democracy in India and beyond, exposing how state power, corporate ‘development,’ communal violence, and securitized responses to dissent converge to marginalize the poor and silence critics; blending reportage, memoir, and polemic, the writer documents the human cost of large dams and mining, counterinsurgency in tribal regions, communal riots, and the erosion of civil liberties while tracing links between local struggles and global neoliberal and militarized policies.
