Over the years, Saurav has written many research-based stories. His work has appeared in several well-known publications. He has also worked extensively on issues related to the Right to Information (RTI) Act, and is “currently working on his debut book, ‘Complicit Silence: The Court’s Role in India’s Quiet Suffering,’ which explores how the Indian judiciary has contributed to the nation’s slide into electoral autocracy. Through compelling narratives of victims who sought justice but found no meaningful relief in a court of law, Saurav unfolds the growing entrenchment of a regressive, theocratic judicial system under the present regime.” (Instagram/@seven_shots_)
