This photobook re-contextualises images from print media in India and is a commentary on the present sociopolitical & economic conditions in the country. Dance of Democracy is the second volume of In Today’s News, a series edited by Kaamna Patel wherein she deploys appropriated images from print media, producing humorous and subversive outcomes arising from semiotic interplay.

This book brings together an assemblage of images that allude to the destabilizing of secular values in the country, more recently marked by religious intolerance, surveillance and cultural erasure.
