Caste or religion is not the principal contradiction in India; India is a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country. A new democratic revolution should be the focus of the revolutionary class.

This book is devided into various chapters each and every chapter gives goosebumps. Story of Doon Public School alumni, how he ended up his life in jail. Almost 18 cases filed on him and acquitted in all of them was in confinement in jail for almost 10 years. Loksatta (in Marathi). 12 November 2021. Archived from the original on 21 December 2022 . Retrieved 21 December 2022. The book is poorly written both in form and substance. Filled with regret and self-pity, it is with repetitive lament that Ghandy spent 10 years in prison. As a prison memoir, this is of very low quality. A better one on prison conditions in India is "My years in an Indian Prison" by Mary Tyler. As a revolutionary memoir, probably the best is the "Notes from the Gallows" by Julius Fucik, the Czech socialist who wrote from a Nazi prison.Ghandy, however, did not explain how a racist Anglo-Saxon nation could remain racist and still become rich and industrialized. Nehru's Discovery of India was much better written, both in diction and language. Nehru's goal in writing the Discovery of India was to assure the weathy and the British that he was not a Leninist. He succeeded in convincing them and became prime minister. The Wire (in Marathi). 16 January 2022. Archived from the original on 21 December 2022 . Retrieved 21 December 2022. Later in the book they finally sleep together again, but AGAIN instead of communicating their feelings, they both assumed that the other just wanted to be friends and that the sex meant nothing, even though that wasn't true for either of them, so that was also super frustrating. On top of all of this, there were so many random plot wrenches thrown in...Dante was former military, but is also a member of the mob, but also is being contracted by the government who is working in conjunction with the mob on an undercover operation that Lilah's twin sister Izzy, a former drug addict, is also a part of? Dante also went on a date with Izzy after they broke up, but says she kissed him and he wasn't into it. It was so random, and just sort of served as a way to provide more drama. We find out way later in the book that Izzy is ALSO in love with Dante, which makes Lilah want to pursue a relationship with him even less, not wanting to break her sister's heart.

Through out the book I came to know whole existing judicial system is untenable to solve pending cases. Even though political system is becoming uncouth,vile and uncivilised. This book covers some heavy subjects that I feel are super relatable to a lot of people, especially women (i.e. miscarriages) as well as things like heartbreak, anxiety, and depression. But it overall helped the characters become more relatable and I loved how their broken pieces just fit each other so well. Their romance had all the tension and heat, while giving you some tiny swoonworthy moments between the couple. Read an excerpt from Kobad Ghandy's Fractured Freedom, a stirring narrative of his activism and incarceration". Firstpost. 22 March 2021. Archived from the original on 21 December 2022 . Retrieved 21 December 2022.Kobad Ghandy's writing met with critical acclaim. Mahmood Farooqui of Hindustan Times wrote "The importance of this memoir and of being Kobad lies in shedding privilege, in adopting poverty and struggle, in choosing the right life, in suffering wrongs for it, and yet remaining steadfast.Fractured Freedomis a moral lesson for modern India, which both the Left and the Right would do well to heed". [3] Asim Ali of The Telegraph wrote "This is a sincere and lucid book, mercifully free of intellectual jargon or literary pretensions. It is also deeply moving at times, particularly when Ghandy writes about his wife. Whatever one makes of Ghandy's ideas, there are some important insights to be gleaned from his dramatic life". [4] Marathi Version [ edit ] What really sealed the deal for me was that he lied to the FMC about various things but when she finally admits to the pregnancy and loss of the baby that she has basically told no one about he gets pissy with her? And she’s sitting there sobbing about this super emotional thing that she’s kept bottled up and has been dealing with all by herself and he starts talking about how he’s “always thinking about how to get people to submit” to him? Yeah… that’s totally the correct way to handle a situation like that… Ghandy fell into the imperialist trap when he focused on the Dalit issue. Ambedkar was by no means a revolutionary; he was, whether willingly or otherwise, an imperialist agent, having been indoctrinated at Columbia University. The book is based on communism(Marxism) ideology. Communism is a return of a man himself as a social, i.e., really human being, a complete and conscious return.

Not to mention the fact that he was apparently in the military but is now working in a private contract with the government but is also the son of a major mob boss who no one knows he’s related to? Again… sure… The first time I had heard the word urban Naxalite was during the arrest of the Indian poet Varavara Rao. Anyway, I did not follow up on that case and time slipped like usual. We were supposed to be terrified of this man like he’s “in the mob” was in the military and like he’s killing a torturing people. Bruh he’s a glorified federal employee like should I be scared of my mailman. Like it just was so stupid it felt like the author wanted the guy to be “good” and scary which it didn’t work. Also the fmc sister was involved as well and that shit was so dumb. Laslty here are all the weird comment and things I just felt could’ve been cut from the story.The Author Resource Round Table on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_folder/116489?group_id=26989
