Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Eighth Edition. Revised at every edition since 1962. No entry has ever been removed.A dimagi Naxal is a person who has arrived at the conclusions of an armed insurgent without the inconvenience of an insurgency. He carries no weapon. He carries a library card.This manual is the field guide to identifying him.In forty-six illustrated chapters, Deputy Director (Retd.) Dev Sarvarkar sets out the complete apparatus of detection: a contents analysis of the jhola, aggregated from sixty-one examinations, in which no weapon has ever been found. The Beard Index, which measures intention rather than length. The footwear threat matrix. Guidance on the semicolon, a mark whose only function is to refuse hierarchy. The habitat and range of any bookshop containing a chair. And, at Chapter 45, a self-examination checklist for the officer.Have you read this manual unaccompanied? Did you bring it with you? Have you ever given a source that was not asked for?Complete the checklist. Then turn to Chapter 46 and try to sign the certificate.A deadpan parody of the surveillance state, in the form of the manual it would actually print. For readers of Parliament of Whores, The Great Indian Novel and Raag Darbari - and for anyone who has been called a name in a list of nine.Illustrated throughout with eight technical plates. Eighty pages. Not one of them a joke the manual is in on.
