Description
Azadi by Arundhati Roy is a powerful collection of essays that examines the complex political and social issues surrounding the Kashmir conflict, as well as broader themes of nationalism, freedom, and identity. Through her writing, Roy critiques the policies of the Indian government and explores the human cost of militarization, religious divisions, and the struggle for self-determination in Kashmir. The book reflects her deep concern for the rights and voices of marginalized groups, offering a poignant and provocative perspective on the pursuit of justice and the quest for freedom. Azadi is both a personal and political exploration of the meaning of independence in a divided world.
