In the past decade, India has witnessed the rise of street protests. It began in 2011, with the India Against Corruption campaign; in 2012, youngsters took to the streets again after the Nirbhaya gangrape case. In 2016 and 2018, people came out in huge numbers to condemn caste-based atrocities and mob violence. Most recent has been the agitation against the implementation of Citizenship Amendment Act. The speeches, lectures and letters in Inquilab: A Decade of Protest captures the most important events and issues of the past ten years. With a foreword by Swara Bhaskar, the book features India's most powerful voices of dissent.

Sainath, Mahua Moitra, Majid Maqbool, Chandra Shekhar Aazad, Nabiya Khan, and Ramachandra Guha.
