A refreshing read in terms of its take on the issue of hate speech,
hurt, and politics of it. The currency of "hurt" as a claim to, and
pretext for, political correctionism-and often taking recourse to
the logic of the antipopular as anti-State-has erected a machinery
of censorship governed by the economies and excesses of a
"marketplace of outrage." This volume seeks to map this ready
vocabulary of a potential victimhood and its consequent excuse for
repressive regimes of State vigilantism. It investigates the ways
in which such "hurt" is expressed and abetted by the State or its
actors, staged by popular media and often subsumed as public
opinion. It builds the necessary structure of argument around the
idea of "hurt" with reference to recent political events, the
history of sentimental mobilizations and various kinds of
censorship attempts in India.
