Azadi

A collection of essays and speeches by Arundhati Roy written between 2018 and 2020, in three parts titled Freedom, Fascism and Fiction. Roy addresses the clampdown in Kashmir, the treatment of Dalits and Muslims, authoritarianism in the name of democracy, the Delhi riots and the Covid-19 pandemic. The essays challenge readers to reflect on the meaning of freedom in a world of growing authoritarianism, and on the role of fiction and alternative imaginations.
