About the Book

Snakes in the Ganga unveils uncomfortable truths concerning India’s vulnerabilities. It covers topics including the intense warfare against India’s integrity by well-orchestrated global machineries, recklessly mapping of Marxist academic frameworks and Woke movements to India with a mission to dismantle Indian civilization, and the uncompromising war against India’s government, educational institutions, culture, industry and society.
