In 1996, the state of Kerala launched possibly the world’s most extensive
and successful experiment in decentralization. The campaign mobilized over
3 million of Kerala’s 30 million people and resulted in bottom-up
development planning in all of its 1,052 villages and urban
neighbourhoods.  *Join 1804 Books

In the recent years, India has witnessed hundreds of thousands of student
protestors braving all odds to hit the streets – from Himachal Pradesh to
Kerala and from Pune to Assam.
Since 2014 in particular, the attack on students and higher education has
been relentless. However, students and teachers continue to put up
sustained resistance against the assault by Hindutva and neoliberalism on
higher education.
The book *Students Won’t Be Quiet*, soon to be published by LeftWord Books
<https://leftword.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=73f937099da58e7b03eff017a&id=7e261514c9&e=90ec074e8f>,
documents some of these truly inspirational and historic struggles of our
time.
This regime has been at war with its students.
We call upon you to imagine the cover of this book.
All proposals will be a part of a virtual exhibition to commemorate 85
years of glorious students’ struggle in India. One of the entries will
become the cover of the book.
Send entries with contact details to winniesgv at gmail.com.
Last date for submission: *10 August 2021*.
