BIHAR TO TIHAR MY POLITICAL JOURNEY

Kanhaiya Kumar

In February 2016, Kanhaiya Kumar, then the president of the students’ union at Jawaharlal Nehru University, was arrested on charges of sedition for a speech he had allegedly made, locked up in Tihar jail and beaten up on the premises of a courthouse. Upon emerging from jail, he became a young political star. In this memoir, he tells his story, from his childhood in rural Bihar, to his college days in Patna, and finally to his life as a poor student in Delhi.
