Deol illuminates every single poem with his command of figurative language, managing to effortlessly capture such raw emotion in a mere matter of words. The combination of the intellectual with the metaphorical depicts an imperative class consciousness narrative which encourages its reader to pause and reflect. It was within each pause that I found a truly unique insight into what resistance entailed, and what it evoked for the Indian farmers.
This is a timeless collection of poetry relating to this movement, as well as the plight of society in general. These are historic, dramatic, imaginative, and somewhat controversial verses covering farmers, labourers, union leaders, politicians, Greta Thunberg and even pop star Rihanna. If you love poetry, then this is a must-have book. It is a poetic resistance story like none other, one which resonates wholly with its reader. I look forward, eagerly, for what Deol may bring next, he is truly an emerging literary genius. He has created rare, insightful, harmonious, heart-rendering compositions of the largest mass movement of its kind: Any Place, Any Time… Anywhere.
Professor Balkar Singh, 'Professor of Eminence' Patiala University, India. Director of the World Punjabi Centre. Indian Author and Academic Scholar (Dec 2021).
I was kindly provided assistance and consultancy by Sir-Inder Deol during the farmer's struggle when we set up a radio station to serve protestors at various protest sights and the wider public at large. It comes as no surprise that he has encapsulated the feeling of the protest within this brilliant poetry collection. A soul-wrenching, inspirational and reflective collection, poetry at its mind provoking best. It is true art. Literature carries the spirit of a movement over the ages for the generations to come. This will live on long after we are all gone, of this I am certain.
Kanwaljeet Singh, General Secretary Punjab Kisan Union, SKM (Dec 2021).
This book is an extraordinary form of resistance against corporate and political fascism through poetry. The very essence of this collection is pluralism, protest and activism. If you are an advocate of creating a better society and protecting fundamental rights, then you need to read the poems of Shri Inder Jee.
Dr. Lenin Raghuvanshi , CEO People’s Vigilance Committee on Human Rights, Dalit rights activist and Political Strategist, India (December 2021)
I worked with Sir-Inder on the Deol Foundation Indian Farmers Human Rights Report. The report was tabled at the SKM (Samyukt Kisan Morcha) meeting on 5th March 2021, where it was passed unanimously. We wanted the report discussed around the world with the foreign press and politicians focusing on the human rights situation on the ground. Along with other factors, it was very effective. These poems have captured the essence of the struggle. They will stand as a historic mirror, reflecting the emotions and hardships of the protest. I believe we are witnessing something very special.
Satnam Singh Sahni, General Secretary BKU Doaba (SKM) India (Dec 2021).
“An accurate definition of poetry does not exist, for it cannot easily be defined. Nor is it something that can necessarily be explained, rather it is something to be experienced." Sir-Inder Deol
