Why read it?
1 author picked 1984 India’s Guilty Secret as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Some events are burned into the collective psyche. In 1984 in India, the world’s largest democracy, over 8,000 people were murdered in a four-day genocidal massacre, orchestrated by the government. This book is written in a measured tone, evidenced, and filled with witness accounts. The background is explained, the events are charted, and those who gave help and shelter are included. Over the decades, few of the guilty have been brought to account. The book becomes a drumbeat for justice.
From Ravinder's list on by writers of colour.
