Akashavani (Occupy India Edition) A powerful novella that examines state terrorism in contemporary India. In Narwah's haunting tale, Sonia Kuar, a journalist from Surrey Vancouver, recounts a physical and physiological journey through India. Kidnapped by The Voice of Patriotism, a wanted 'communist' who runs a pirate radio show (Occupy India) and wages a one-man war against the Indian government, Sonia rediscovers herself as a journalist as she finds herself investigating stories of substance rather than stories of distraction. In one unforgettable day Sonia learns about Jaswant Singh Khalra, a human rights activist who disappeared investigating mass disappearances in India. She learns about caste slavery, Hindu extremism, Indian fascism, and India's secret agents who exist to protect India's image of peace and non-violence in the world. In between stream-of-consciousness rants against the upper castes, corporate elite, and Indian police, The Voice of Patriotism asks Sonia to help him expose systemic torture, mass disappearances and state terrorism to the international community. But all isn't as it seems as The Voice of Patriotism is willing to pay the ultimate price for truth and justice. Now Sonia must ask herself if she is willing to do the same.
