A Gripping Dive into Politics, Media, and the Future of Indian Democracy
We are excited to announce the release of Who Holds the Power? How Politics, Media, and Narratives Shape India’s Future, a thought-provoking and timely book by author and public policy thinker Vivek Kumar Jha.
What the Book Is About?
In a world increasingly influenced by digital media, political branding, and public perception, understanding the real levers of power is more critical than ever. In this compelling non-fiction work, Vivek Kumar Jha explores:
-
The interplay between political power and media narratives in India
-
How the democratic spirit has shifted since independence—and especially after 2014
-
The subtle machinery of propaganda, silence, and symbolism in governance
-
The consequences of unchecked narratives on democracy, dissent, and development
From newsroom spin to populist policymaking, the book uncovers how public discourse is shaped, manipulated, and sometimes silenced—all while asking: Who truly holds the power in today’s India?
