While India’s terror trials have been viewed through the lens of an expanding security state and displays of Hindutva nationalism, Suresh elaborates how trials are experienced by the defendants through a minute engagement with legal technicalities. Amidst the gruelling terror trials—which are replete with stories of torture and fabricated charges—defendants school themselves in legal procedures, build friendships with police officials, and cultivate a cautious faith in the courts.
