The Public Intellectual in India shows us why it is important to have self-governing voices to protect the deprived and safeguard human rights and social justice. Romila Thappar and the others tell us in this book why we should care about the public intellectual in India. The author explains that these factors play an important role in our society.


The author talks about all that the governing body has to face when they falter in their roles of ensuring proper functioning of the country. Collectively they talk about the role that the protesters play in India, Europe and elsewhere. Today, as the large space in India is endangered by religious fundamentalism, big business and, a government that appears to be quietly inspiring the attack on freedom of communication, material values and balanced understandings of history
