In a time when blind conformity is celebrated as patriotism, and questioning the official narrative is branded as disloyalty, “The Brainwash Republic: Manufactured Truths and the Fall of Reason” arrives as a necessary and urgent intervention. This book is not fiction. It does not deal in metaphors or speculative theory. It is a clear, unflinching analysis of the real mechanisms that manipulate how people think, believe, and behave — especially in so-called democratic societies like India, where freedom is often reduced to symbolic gestures while control quietly thrives beneath the surface.
Author Sreekesh Puthuvassery, known for his sharp insight into history, power structures, and psychological manipulation, presents this work as a mirror to the collective social condition we have been forced to accept as normal. From the earliest stages of education to the final years of retirement, citizens are shaped by a system that rewards obedience, discourages independent thinking, and engineers loyalty to structures that exploit them.
This book exposes how manufactured truths are planted in our minds through school curriculums, controlled media, religious dogmas, political propaganda, caste-based conditioning, and consumer culture. These are not abstract problems — they affect everyday life. The caste certificate you’re forced to show, the anthem you’re expected to stand for, the syllabus your children must memorize, the slogans you're taught to chant, and the news you consume — all are designed not to inform or liberate, but to condition and contain.
“The Brainwash Republic” traces how reason, logic, and questioning have slowly been pushed out of public discourse, replaced by emotional manipulation, identity politics, and pseudo-patriotic noise. The book explains how even basic human instincts — curiosity, doubt, resistance — are now portrayed as threats, while blind faith, passive acceptance, and shallow rituals are applauded.
It also shows how citizens are mentally disarmed to the point where they begin defending their own chains — celebrating symbolic freedoms while enduring exploitation in silence. People are trained to argue for systems that have never served them, to fight over narratives crafted by their oppressors, and to fear the very freedom they deserve.
This is not just a book about national problems — it is about mental colonization that hides behind tradition, progress, and national interest. It challenges the reader to step outside the carefully constructed illusions and look at the raw machinery of control — economic, cultural, political, and psychological.
What this book addresses:
How truth is shaped, not discovered.
Why education suppresses independent inquiry.
How patriotism is distorted to maintain control.
The role of media in shaping collective memory.
The use of caste, religion, and identity as control tools.
How citizens are mentally prepared to obey, not think.
“The Brainwash Republic” does not offer comfortable solutions. It does not pretend that awareness alone is enough. But it gives the reader what has been long denied — clarity, honesty, and a framework to understand the manipulation at play. It is a starting point for those who feel something is wrong, but can’t articulate why. It is for those who are not looking for inspiration, but for truth stripped of all decoration.
This book is not for everyone. It is for those who can endure discomfort in the search for clarity. For those who would rather know the hard truth than live a decorated lie. For those who are tired of being silent participants in a system that uses their own minds against them.
Available now. Read it not to feel better — but to finally understand what you’ve been made to forget.
Written by Sreekesh Puthuvassery — for minds that still refuse to be colonized.
