How Deep Shall We Dig ?: by Arundhati Roy

The document discusses how India has moved away from true democracy through repressive laws and military force. It argues that laws like POTA and AFSPA have been misused to target minorities and dissenters. While the government portrays economic growth, many citizens face poverty, inequality, and loss of rights and livelihoods.
