Overview

Noted social activist Anand Teltumbde entered the Taloja Central Prison as accused number 10 in the Bhima Koregaon case and spent 31 months as an undertrial until he was released on bail. As an intellectual who was stripped of his freedom, he lays bares the chilling realities of India's prisons in his gut-wrenching prison memoir. Part memoir, part diary, Cell and the Soul is a descent into the heart of India's carceral state, ripping open the belly of the beast-the prison industrial complex-and exposing the brutal, pulsating injustice within.

Reviews

Anand Teltumbde is one of the most important intellectuals at work in India today. He is one of the few who takes on the bigotry of caste and the depredations of big capital that reinforces both caste and class. His arrest and incarceration only underlines how important he is and how much we need him. ― Arundhati Roy
