In these essays, some published as far back as 1985, Balagopal writes about how in India, the alchemy between caste, class and the State creates a uniquely Indian alloy of fascism. Reading them gives the impression that he was standing on top of a tall tower with a powerful pair of binoculars which enabled him to see what nobody else could. In truth there was no tower, and no binoculars, just an extremely fine, courageous, and honest mind, looking around at what others turn away from. There’s really nobody like him.

Balagopal is a visionary who was much ahead of his time and his relevance continues undeterred. He could become such a prodigious teacher, because he himself was such an attentive student in his own lifetime. He listened so patiently and relentlessly kept learning and unlearning from struggles on the ground. He listened to the people, to unspoken history, the insects on the blades of grass, the soil that erodes, the memory that is fading. He preserved knowledge obtained from grassroots and sharpened that with his own prolific insight.
