Fractured Freedom: A Brother's Best Friend Second Chance Romance (Tarnished Empire)

Product Information

Most of us dread to use a public toilet but Kobad chose to live in the slums to understand ground-level situations. I wonder, why! 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. 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… 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 ] This book is a memoir(prison) of his journey from being a privileged Parsi youth and finally spending ten years in the Indian jails (specifically seven years in Tihar Jail). He discusses the judiciary challenges, his encounter with other prison mates which includes Khalistan leaders, Islamists, and the famous Afzal Guru. There are many times when he quotes Albert Camus, Rumi, Shakespeare.

The books that are born out of experience always are worth a treasure. They show life and real things. Fractured Freedom by Kobad Ghandy is one such book. Kobad Ghandy was born into a well-off family. He did his schooling at the famous Doon School, and after completing his college education from St. Xavier College, Mumbai, he went to the UK to do his CA. Unfortunately, he was a victim of racism that was the most prevalent in the 1970s in Europe. He wanted to know the causes of racial discrimination and read extensively on India’s colonial legacy from the books by BC Dutt, Dadabhai Naoroji and others at the British Museum Library. He realised the socio-political issues that complemented colonial rule. Review: Fractured Freedom - A Prison Memoir by Kobad Ghandy". Hindustan Times. 16 April 2021.

The Author Resource Round Table on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_folder/116489?group_id=26989 I came across this author on BookTok and so thankful I did because Shain sent me the ARC of this book (as well as Shattered Vows!) As much as I enjoyed Shattered Vows, this book was my favorite of the two! It was steamy and hot, while also giving you the super sweet moments of the brother's best friend/childhood crush tropes. Dante was a DREAM. I very much am manifesting him as my future husband because he was hot and somewhat morally-gray, while being the literally cutest human on the planet. Very big fan. Born in the cradle of upper-middle-class privilege in a Mumbai Parsi household and educated at one of India’s finest schools, Kobad Ghandy’s life and career could have scaled heights in the bustling world of corporate finance. Only it did not. Instead, he chose to become an activist working for the oppressed of the country.Sukumar Shidore of Loksatta wrote "As the content of the book is multi-dimensional, it is hoped that the discerning reader will delve into its various aspects". [5] Milind Champanerkar of The Wire wrote "Considering the singular images of 'gunmen, burakhadhari', it seems that this book can provide a lot of insight into the reality, breaking through the myths about the extreme left". [6] Controversy [ edit ] Fair enough. None of us wanted blood on our hands anymore. Bastian had started a new reign. We were done with the bullshit our fathers had done before. We wanted a clean family, legal business, and a government we worked with, not against.”

I wonder about the psychology of a person who has studied from Doon School followed by education from London and landing up in Tihar Jail. Kobad Ghandy is a Parsi intellectual who worked tirelessly for the underprivileged of the society for four decades. 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. This book may be read with diff. perceptions : One being arrest of KG as a common man and a senior citizen and his stay for almost 10 umyears in different prisons across the country and his treatment as a criminal. The annoyingly slow pace of our age old judicial system which kept him incarcerated for 10 years without proving any substantial crime except section 420 for impersonation. One of which is to move in across the hall from him so he can keep me safe. Like I need protection after a little felony mix-up.In the present day, a lot of the first 35% or so of the book was really sad because we get both POVs and can see that they are both clearly still in love with the other but not wanting to admit it since they are both hurt over the past. Instead of being honest with each other, they choose to try and prove how much they are over the other person by talking about the other people they’ve slept with, and in Lilah's case, the dates she was planning to go on. There was a lot of internal dialogue in Lilah's chapters about her miscarriage and subsequent depression, and about how she felt like she wasn't good enough for Dante, and about how her they couldn't make a baby together (essentially assuming that one miscarriage meant she'd never be able to have a healthy pregnancy with him), and honestly it all felt very over the top to me. I don't want to downplay the impact that a miscarriage can have on someone, but to be 18 years old and miscarry an unplanned pregnancy and then let it be still impacting your relationships with everyone around you more than 5 years later even though she's been in therapy all that time seemed unrealistic to me.

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… Jawaharlal Nehru spent 17 years in prisons and Nelson Mandela 29. Of course, prison changed both of them. 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.

Declan Hardy, All-American heartthrob and retired NFL billionaire, is my complete Between Commitment and Betrayal, An Arranged Marriage Romance, is live. This book will take you through the journey of honest man. He and his wife Anurdha dedicated their live to service marginalised.One can say this is honest reflection of ideology.A great read about the Judicial / jail system and tmhis view on present condition of Communism. Please note, Reading this book certainly doesn't make one a Communist. Dante was using his not so legal links to bring down drug dealers, but the ‘whales’ not just the ‘big fish’. Ghandy, however, did not explain how a racist Anglo-Saxon nation could remain racist and still become rich and industrialized.
