A brave life and a book which lays bare how the war on terror in our country is a total failure. In an attempt to get to the perpetrators lives of thousands of young men are being devastated by the forces. Probably not even to get to the real terrorists but just to mete out their own personal frustrations and to get promotions. But Mr. Khan makes no judgements. He doesn't judge the police who tormented police, the judiciary who kept him hanging for years, the friends-relatives who leave the family in bad times or even the journalists and politicians seeking to gain from his story later on.
Mr. Khan just tells his experiences and the facts. Thats the best part of the book.
There is a need for more such people like him to be able to write their stories, tell the country and its people their stories, instead of handful of journalists shouting on news channels, stories like these will tell the people what the police is doing and what is being done in the name of curbing terrorism on. Only when humanitarian ethos of people are evoked can the country be sewn together with compassion for each other (and Indians are pretty easy to be moved on these grounds).
