Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold and audacious take on the subject of freedom of expression. Championing the cause of limitless liberty, Ravi Shanker Kapoor builds his case on the platform of philosophy. He trashes the 'hurting-the-sentiments' and 'offending-the-sensibilities' notions as tricks to enslave humankind. He also slams fashionable liberals and others who peddle the myth of 'Islamophobia'. His position is: 'extremism in the defense of liberty.' He argues for 'extremism in the defense of liberty with cogent reasoning and relevant instances. For him the enemies of liberty in our time are sophisticated people; multiculturalism is their armour, political correctness is their weapon, and postmodern jargon their camouflage.
