Memories Of a Father
|
The Asian
Human Rights Commission has released a remarkable new book, Memories of a
father, by Professor T V Eachara Varier. The story recounts Professor
Varier's desperate and endless attempts to get to the bottom
of his son's arrest, torture, murder and disappearance at the hands of the
police force in Kerala, India, during a period of emergency
rule. |
Throughout the book, Professor Varier vividly portrays the social and
legal breakdown that led to the mass arrests and extrajudicial killings of the
time as a backdrop against which his own personal tragedy is intimately
and thoroughly explored.
Memories of
a father is an
eloquent, remarkable and moving statement on cruelty, courage and enduring hope,
which should be read by anyone concerned with the real
meaning of human rights.
The book is published jointly with Jananeethi, based in Kerala, India. A
full review is attached.
