Malevolent Republic
A Short History of the New India
Book • 2019
Malevolent Republic provides a scathing critique of India's shift towards Hindu nationalism under the BJP and Narendra Modi.
The book explores how decades of imperfect secularism and corruption led to the rise of Modi, transforming India into a majoritarian state where democracy enables extremism.
Komireddi argues that if secularists fail to reclaim the republic, India may lose its democratic and pluralistic identity.
