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. 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. 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.

Dante was always going to be redeemable. He was the best of the best brother’s best friend. I’m obsessed with him and he’s book boyfriend of the year, hands down. Need to think if any prisoners are thinking or attuned to the fact that court procedures are going to take long time means we all have to think about Indian judicial system. If he is proud of his Parsi heritage, as he certainly has a right to do so, how could he fault Brahmins of being proud of their heritage, and what is the difference? 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.Review: Fractured Freedom - A Prison Memoir by Kobad Ghandy".

Throw in a twist where he's not just Army, he's a mobster too and her twin sister is working undercover with him. Cause that's what mobsters do. They work undercover stings to bring down drug operations. This book is a MESS. 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. delilah was such a good soul, with a good heart that went through too much..i related to her character, the way she always tried to fit in and be as perfect as she could 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. Jawaharlal Nehru spent 17 years in prisons and Nelson Mandela 29. Of course, prison changed both of them.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".

While I really liked the entertaining and fast paced writing style, I couldn’t help but think like the characters were walking around in circles and pushing and pulling against the same problems for too long.

Though there are many contradictions, such as landlord-landless labourer, factory owner-factory worker, money lender-borrower, male-female, inter-religious, inter-caste, rural-urban, agricultural-industrial, intra-feudal or intra-capitalist, and even imperialist-colonizer etc, one cannot get distracted by every oppression that one comes across. The revolutionary must focus on the principal contradiction and create or use the revolutionary atmosphere and bring about successful revolution. Her twin sister was hooked on drugs and was currently in juvie at the time she left, leaving behind a much calmer atmosphere. 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.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… 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.” 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!

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. 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. Delilah is a sassy, smart, and smart woman. On the next journey of her life. But at the same time, struggling with past demons. Dirty, Delicious Dante is possessive, protective, and swoon-worthy. Fractured Freedom: A Prison Memoir is a book was written by Kobad Ghandy. The book is divided into three parts: Motivation and Drive Behind Action; a Decade in India's Prisons, and; Contemplation and Consideration of Justification.

Ambedkar was by no means a revolutionary; he was, whether willingly or otherwise, an imperialist agent, having been indoctrinated at Columbia University. Delilah had eventually ghosted Dante much to his disappointment. She’d finished her degree and was currently nursing in Puerto Rico.
