Azadi: Freedom. Fascism. Fiction. by Arundhati Roy

Azadi: Freedom. Fascism. Fiction. by Arundhati Roy

Azadi means freedom, and Roy's essay collection takes the word from its use in Kashmiri protest to its appearance in Indian student movements, and asks what happens when the same slogan is chanted by people who mean opposite things.

The pieces cover the revocation of Article 370 and the communications blackout in Kashmir, the Citizenship Amendment Act protests, the language of Hindu nationalism, and — in the final essay, written as it happened — the migrant workers walking hundreds of miles home during the 2020 lockdown. There is also a superb essay on writing in many languages at once.

The Booker-winning novelist at her most direct. Uncomfortable and necessary.
