Book Summary
In todays India, two words can end careers, ignite mobs, and silence debate: hurt sentiments. But when did questioning become a crime? And how did a civilisation that once celebrated fearless philosophical debate become a society walking on eggshells? In Blasphemy: Let Me Speak, Kushal Mehra takes on one of the most contentious issues of our timethe idea of blasphemy itself. Drawing from history, philosophy, law, and contemporary politics, Mehra argues that the very notion of blasphemy is fundamentally alien to Indias indigenous intellectual traditions. For millennia, Indian thought thrived on argument, scepticism, and dissent from the audacious materialism of the Crvkas to the pluralism of the dharmic daranas. Questioning was not punished; it was celebrated. So how did a culture of open inquiry transform into a culture of outrage? Through a sharp and provocative analysis, this book traces the historical roots of blasphemy, its entry into Indias legal framework under colonial rule, and its modern use as a tool to silence free speech. Examining landmark legal cases, religious sensitivities, and the growing climate of censorship, Mehra confronts a difficult question: Can a society truly progress if its ideas cannot be challenged? Bold, unapologetic, and intellectually fearless, Blasphemy: Let Me Speak is not an attack on faithit is a defence of freedom. It is a call to reclaim Indias ancient spirit of debate, where ideas were tested through dialogue, not suppressed through intimidation. Because a civilisation that stops questioning eventually stops thinking.
