This article is a review of Prabir Purkayastha's memoir, "Keeping Up the Good Fight in India." The memoir discusses Purkayastha's experiences during the Emergency declared by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the current undeclared Emergency under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Purkayastha, along with his news portal NewsClick, faced persecution by state agencies due to their coverage of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act and farmers' protests. After spending seven months in prison, Purkayastha was released by the Supreme Court, which has become a last defense against the authoritarian regime. The memoir also touches on Purkayastha's personal life, including his romance with Ashoklata and his journey as a single parent after her sudden death. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of individuals like Purkayastha who stand up against injustice and the role of lawyers in defending constitutional rights.
