How Long Can the Moon Be Caged?
批評家のレビュー
'A telling account of repression and resistance in the new India.'
(Jean Drèze, Indian economist)'Those who want to understand the nature of today’s political regime in India need to read this book. Focusing on the situation of dozens of political prisoners whose words had never been reproduced so extensively so far, it shows how the Modi government is criminalising dissent. The demise of the rule of law is precipitated by the instrumentalization of the security apparatus and the making of a 'parallel regime of truth'.'
(Christophe Jaffrelot, Professor of Indian Politics and Sociology, King's College London)'An important testament to the dystopian state of the nation through powerful documentation of the incarceration of dissent in contemporary India.'
(Alpa Shah, author of 'Nightmarch: Among India’s Revolutionary Guerrillas')あらすじ・解説
Silencing and punishing critical voices is a project that lies at the heart of Narendra Modi's authoritarian regime in India. The BJP's political dream is clear: to achieve the ethno-nationalist aim of an exclusively 'Hindu' India, while targeting anyone who dares to question or dissent.
In this unique book, Suchitra Vijayan and Francesca Recchia look at the present of India through the lived experiences of political prisoners. Combining political and legal analysis with firsthand testimonies, the book explores the small gestures that constitute resistance inside and outside jail for the prisoners and their families, telling a story of destruction of institutions and erosion of rights.
How Long Can the Moon Be Caged? includes visual testimonies and prison writings from those falsely accused of inciting the Bhima Koregaon violence, by student leaders opposing the new discriminatory citizenship law passed in 2020, and by activists from the Pinjra Tod's movement. In bringing together these voices, the book celebrates the courage, humanity, and moral integrity of those jailed for standing in solidarity with marginalized and oppressed communities.
