This volume examines the varied forms of dissent in the Indian subcontinent, particularly its nonviolent forms, covering Vedic times, the emergence of Shramana religions and Gandhi’s satyagraha, among others. It also speaks to recent protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the shrinking space for dissent today.
