About the Book

Liberal democracy in India has got strengthened because of a well written Indian Constitution. There is a threat from the Hindutva hard-line forces to liberal democracy in India but their actions are more of an aberration. The Indian State needs to strengthen itself in order to provide security to minority communities who have been experiencing fear. These saffron forces have threatened the rights of individual artists and writers by misusing the laws of the state. Here the state must rework these laws, henceforth, the laws can not be misused by these forces
