Delhi Calm

A graphic novel that re-imagines Delhi in the 1970s Imagine waking up one morning to learn that all your rights as a citizen are suspended this moment onwards. Imagine living the way the State tells you to-being told how where and when to laugh live or love. Imagine constant surveillance-all your acts words thoughts watched all forms of expression subverted for the purpose of nation-building.'Work More Talk Less' yell microphones as you walk down the streets. But do not worry-Delhi is still calm. It is the India of the mid-1970s. Three young men with vastly different perspectives but all dreaming of'change' cross paths during this time. Do they sink as individuals or swim as a collective? Was William Penn right to say that'Democracy dies in the hearts of democrats before it dies in the hands of a dictator'? Find out in Vishwajyoti Ghosh's powerful graphic re-imagining of one of the most seminal moments in the history of Indian democracy.
