A review by iamacj
Aarushi by Avirook Sen
4.0
*Indian Mentality*
"Why did you do the wrong thing?"
"I was forced into it."
"All of you?"
"Yes."
"Then why don't you correct that now?"
"Sir, ithar aisa hi chalta hai sab."
Sure, Avirook gets rather too journalistic sometimes - and the book doesn't exactly have the greatest writing - more of a thesis than a novel - but it does bring to light many facts that were overlooked by the media, various discrepancies covered up by the CBI and the depths of degeneracy of the legal system in India.
I think what really got to me about this case would be the fact that Aarushi was precisely as old as I was when she was murdered. Shakes your bones - something like this.
Moral of the story: Justice can't win if the govt investigating bodies are on the opposite side.
I guess amidst all the damage done - we've forgotten the original victims of the case - Aarushi and Hemraj.
