Yakub Totanawala, in his “Branded Criminal: In Search of Liberation,” presents the reality of the present day time in the starkest manner. Through his book, he shows how one person can become a victim of social strata due to the divide that persists all the time. Through the character of Vikram, he studies the fate of many who face the same situations as he has and ends up being trapped.
The author also studies the after-effects of colonialism and how it still prevails despite the absence of the colonizer. At the same time, there is also a study of the nature of humans, how they manipulate each other, how they don’t shy away from using unfair means to satisfy their motives. Altogether, the book is fine reading for all those who like to read reality-based content. On a wider level, the political, social, and psychological implications of the work cannot be undermined.
