For Reasons of State Delhi Under Emergency

This book tells the story of the travails of ordinary folk in the capital of India during the nineteen month long nightmare by two young city reports who had a ringside view of events.  This book exposes the monstrous administrative machinery of the Emergency and the devastation it wreaked, with arbitrary arrests, home bulldozed at half an hours notice, and, worst of all, the dreaded forced sterilisation campaign. Fusing painstaking investigation with literary flavour, the authors bring you the high octane drama of events as they unfolded, ending with the triumph of people against an all powerful State.
