"2024: India in Free Fall" by Sanjay Jha, a former Congress spokesperson, addresses pressing issues in India, such as the marginalization of Muslim minorities and the erosion of citizen rights and the judiciary. As the General Elections approach, Jha highlights the mainstream media's failure to address these concerns and emphasizes the importance of books like his in keeping these issues at the forefront of public discourse. The book, which reflects on Jha's upbringing in India, analyzes destabilizing factors like COVID, economic woes, and unemployment. Jha criticizes the Congress Party's leadership style and calls for a reevaluation of political practices and values. The narrative is one of disappointment and bitterness, reflecting lost opportunities and the nation's decline on global indices. "2024" is a crucial read for those concerned about India's trajectory and offers valuable insights into the nation's urgent issues.
