NCLA: 'The Incarcerations' Alpa Shah in conversation with Preti Taneja

India decides: what price freedom in the world's largest democracy?

Date/Time: 16 May 2024 19:00 - 16 May 2024 20:00

Venue: Culture Lab, Newcastle University

'The Incarcerations' offers a sweeping, searing investigation into Indian fascism, cyber warfare and tech surveillance versus minority activism and resistance. Alpa Shah exposes the personal stories and shocking truth behind the arrests of the Bima Koreagaon. The case challenges India’s freedom of speech, of movement; the right to land, religion, language, and culture. Essential and urgent, it reveals how this case is a bellwether for the collapse of democracy in India and discusses its ramifications for the future of human rights globally. Alpa Shah is Professor of Anthropology at LSE. To book: https://tinyurl.com/mr9wc98s
