Yashovardhan Azad spent his career at the top of Indian security. He headed the Special Division of the Intelligence Bureau that runs VIP protection, and he personally handled security for the Prime Minister, the President, and the Indian cricket team's 2004 tour of Pakistan. He is also the son of a former Bihar Chief Minister, so he watched power operate from both sides. His book, Policing the Republic, pulls apart why Indian policing is broken and who keeps it that way. He talks like a man with nothing left to protect: names, dates, and stories most officers take to the grave.
