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.
