अरुणा शानबागसारखं प्रकरण हे वैद्यकीय व्यवसायातलं एकमेव प्रकरण असेल! पण तरीही त्यावर म्हणावं तेवढं संशोधन झालेलं नाही. अशा प्रकारचं आयुष्य जगणा-या रोग्यांसाठी दयामरणाचा निर्णय योग्य म्हणता येईल की अयोग्य यावर म्हणावी तेवढी चर्चा झालेली नाही. बलात्काराविरूद्धच्या कायद्यातील पळवाटांबाबतही योग्य तो उपाय झालेला नाही. अरुणाची ना धड मृत आणि ना धड जिवंत अशी अवस्था करणा-या नराधमाला मात्र केवळ सात वर्षांची शिक्षा झाली! तीही चोरी आणि मारहाणीच्या कृत्यांबद्दल. बलात्कार केल्याचा आणि खुनाच्या प्रयत्नाचा आरोप कोणी त्याच्यावर ठेवलाच नाही. अशा प्रश्नांची उठाठेव करण्याची गरज आहेच कुणाला? पिंकी विराणींचे हे पुस्तक या अशा धगधगत्या प्रश्नांना वाचा फोडते.
A remarkable work of investigative reporting and non-fiction writing in the tradition of Truman Capote`s In Cold Blood Journalist Pinki Virani recreates the real-life tragedy of Aruna Shanbaug, who was attacked with a dog chain and brutally raped in the very hospital where she was a nurse, and abandoned by her family thereafter. Brain-dead for sight, speech and movement, yet hopelessly alive to pain, hunger and terror, she now lies, barely alive, in the hospital where she once treated patients back to health. Virani`s investigations also unearthed the crowning tragedy: while Aruna has been in coma for over twenty-five years, her rapist, a sweeper in the hospital, walked a free man after a mere seven years in prison for `robbery and attempt to murder`. Vivid and gut-wrenching, this is a book that will haunt the reader long after the final page has been turned. `Pinki Virani has narrated Aruna`s brutalization through meticulous and persistent research. The structure of the book is notable in the way it resists sensationalism. ` - Telegraph .`Virani`s book is researched, thought-provoking, sharp. It is both sad and angry, scathing and restrained. ` - Pioneer .`... her storytelling skill and ability to recreate scenes powerfully make the book gripping ... an amazing effort in retelling a true-life tragedy.’- Asian Age Cover design by B & M Design .
