A Question of Order: India, Turkey, and the Return of Strongmen

A book which brings issues that people outside of the country may not be aware of, into the painful light.While reading this book, I can only feel how lucky I am to be in a country that tries hard to eliminate discrimination against genders, races and corruption.Have you been caught in gunfire, in political wars? I haven't. Hence, this book done well to interview people who have gone through all these. It is disturbing, yet a must read.*I got a free copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Bloody riots by murdering masses and troops in areas that had reduced the population to despair were typical background information for the political rise of the strongmen in India and Turkey that need a reputation for being masters of contention. In Turkey, a July 20, 2010 speech by Recep Tayyip Erdogan to prepare for political moves against the military, the judiciary, and the bureaucracy long dominated by the Kemalist elite. Anyone rocking the boat that observes Ezra lessons about mortal trash can find corrupt practices in what nobody should know.

Very insightful. While the rise of illiberalism in Turkey is already well-known, this book exposes a day-to-day reality of rising prejudice, nationalism and intolerance in India which the western press barely acknolwdges. Only criticism is that the book could have been organised better. Peer tends to meander from one anecdote to another, often failing to underline the central message of a chapter.
