Urgent and necessary. Chronicling the state of affairs in India between 2019-2022. A protest against fascism. And a celebration of the brave individuals who put their lives on the line to stand for constitutional democracy.

A brave attempt at capturing the political turmoil in India. This collection largely focuses on political prisoners, the CAA NRC protests, the pandemic, student protests, hope and despair. Beautifully captured 2019-2022 in India.
The poems fluctuate and merge between deeply personal and political. Simple, direct and powerful writing. The poems are also very visual, placing you in the shoes of the narrator, who also writes beautifully about Delhi.
However, themes feel repetitive after a point. There is a lot of poetry about Umar Khalid, which although important, seemed redundant after a point, considering it's a collection.
