      <Abstract>The book “Arab Spring and its Legacies”, edited by Prof. Mujib Alam and Prof. Sujata Ashwarya is an outcome of discussions held at an online conference titled, ‘Turmoil and Instability in West Asia: Implication for India’s Look West Policy’. The conference was funded by Council of Social Science Research and hosted at Jamia Millia Islamia University in January 2021. The book is an attempt to examine the enduring impacts, the ‘legacies’, the failures, and the realities of the historic democratic upsurge in the West Asian region in the early 2010s. The dissatisfaction with decades of political repression by the authoritarian leaders, economic insecurities and social repression resulted in the widespread protests across the region. The chapters oscillates from assessing the historical past of the West Asian region to the emerging trends on the geopolitical slide. The chapters revolve around the legacies of the uprisings that left enduring imprints on the political, social and the cultural aspects of the West Asian countries.</Abstract>
