Broken Republic

Broken Republic by Arundhati Roy, published by Penguin Books, is a powerful and thought-provoking collection of essays that examines the realities of rebellion, displacement, and state power in modern India. Written in Roy’s bold, lyrical, and honest voice, the book explores the struggle of marginalized communities whose lives are tangled in conflict zones. The storyline comes alive when she starts traveling through the forests of Central India, revealing how ordinary people become symbols of resistance against overwhelming forces of Government. Deeply emotional, politically sharp, and brilliantly crafted for readers who seek clarity, truth, and fearless storytelling.
