About The Book

Hell for the People is a sweeping tale of power, betrayal, and endurance. Blending history and imagination, it traces how ordinary lives are shaped by rulers, revolutions, and relentless struggles.
1. From Dynasties to Dictators – Across centuries, ambition and greed turned kingdoms and governments into prisons for their people. Yet, amid wars and oppression, reformers and freedom fighters kept the flame of hope alive.
2. The Mirage of Capitalism – Through sharp debates and real-world echoes, the story lays bare the double edge of industry: creating jobs and dreams while feeding corruption, scams, and political deals from Modi’s empires to the Nadani scandal.
3. The Emergency Years – Cells, censorship, and crushed voices define this chapter of India’s democracy. Leaders endured humiliation, while the Rajmata of Jaipur stood tall, her life torn between duty and defiance.
4. Royalty and Ruin – Princes and princesses, caught between fading grandeur and the march of democracy, struggle with betrayals, forbidden loves, and legacies stained by secrets.
5. Protests and Promises – From Vajpayee’s reforms to Modi’s rise, from Anna Hazare’s fasts to the birth of AAP, the streets become the people’s parliament.
