The most disturbing account in Dr Kafeel Khan’s The History-Sheeter is not simply that a doctor was imprisoned, but that his body, liberty and dignity became vulnerable to the very machinery expected to protect them. His narrative recounts physical assault, custodial torture, prolonged detention, public vilification and the helplessness of a family forced to live with uncertainty. The violence he describes is especially troubling because it occurs within a system that claims the authority to distinguish right from wrong and lawful conduct from criminality. When a person subjected to state power must struggle merely to have that power examined, the question extends beyond his individual suffering. It concerns the condition of a criminal justice system in which the process of accusation, confinement and public condemnation can inflict punishment long before a court has established guilt.

The Gorakhpur tragedy of 2017 forms the beginning of a much larger institutional failure. The deaths of children at BRD Medical College demanded a serious investigation into the circumstances, the availability of oxygen, the conduct of hospital administration and the responsibilities of public officials. Dr Khan’s account presents him as a doctor who became associated with the crisis after attempting to respond to an urgent medical emergency. The subsequent treatment of the tragedy raises a difficult question about the state’s instinct when public institutions fail: does it investigate the entire chain of responsibility, or does it concentrate blame upon an individual whose punishment can satisfy public anger? A disaster of this magnitude required evidence, transparency and accountability at every level. If the investigation instead becomes a search for a convenient individual to carry the burden of institutional failure, justice is displaced by the management of public perception.

The question of identity deepens the concern. Dr Khan is a Muslim doctor whose experience unfolded in a political environment where religious identity can shape public suspicion and the treatment of dissent.

Book Giveaway Alert! 🚨
We're giving away 3 copies of 'Where Have the Birds Gone?' by Asad Rahmani. To enter, share your favorite birding memory in the comments and tell us where and roughly when it took place.

Three comments will be picked at random to win a copy!

About the book: India has long been a land alive with birdsong. But something is changing. Birds are slipping away—lost to vanishing habitats, pesticide use and the hard lines of power cables and dams that redraw the land. Where have these birds gone? And what does their silence mean for us? Through intimate, searching accounts of species we are fast losing, ornithologist Asad Rahmani traces the story of a land on the brink of its own silent spring.

Are we entering a golden age for Indian startups? I think so and so do the authors of Lift Off Nation, Rajan Anandan @rajan_anandan and Saurabh Srivastava @saurabhs_81

Read their book published by the fantastic @juggernaut.in if you need convincing or want the data and the insights to help convince others.

Rajan was CEO of Google India and now the MD of Peak XV.

Coming soon I’ll be doing a whole new series on Indian startups meeting founders and exploring how they are solving for India and the world.

One year of What Women Want: Understanding the Female Voter in Modern India.

Exactly a year ago, my debut book — a labour of two decades worth of rigorous field work — hit the stands. The idea behind this book was to bring to the fore a phenomenon that deserved far more attention: the rise & evolution of the Indian woman voter.

For years, everyone spoke about the female voter. But few ventured deeper into understanding her aspirations, choices, agency and the forces shaping her political behaviour. This book was my attempt to bring her story, her voice and her rightful place in Indian democracy into sharper focus.

The past year has been incredibly fulfilling. From coveted literature festivals and talks at college campuses to podcasts, interaction at think-tanks and conversations at various embassies, the book has taken me to places I never imagined. More importantly, it has sparked conversations that I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of.

Thank you to everyone who picked up the book, read it, shared feedback, offered constructive criticism and engaged with its ideas. Every response has taught me something and made this journey worthwhile.

My gratitude to Juggernaut Books, Chiki Sarkar and my literary agent Kanishka Gupta for believing in this work and helping bring it to life.

Finally, and most importantly, a very special thank you to the women voters of India. Your choices, aspirations and evolving role in our democracy were the inspiration behind this book.

If you haven’t read it yet, do pick up a copy from a leading bookstore or on Amazon. And if you have read it, I’d love to hear what you thought.

What happens when the very system meant to protect you turns against you?

The History Sheeter by Dr. Kafeel Khan is a deeply personal account that forces us to confront this unsettling question.

Going beyond the headlines, Dr. Khan recounts his tumultuous journey through institutional persecution, revealing the personal and professional cost of standing by his principles. His narrative sheds light on the challenges of defending truth, medical ethics, and accountability when faced with powerful institutions.

As I read this book, I found myself reflecting on how easily a person’s identity can be shaped by public narratives, while the human being behind the headlines remains unseen. His experiences evoke both anguish at the injustices he describes and admiration for his resilience in the face of adversity.

What struck me most was the book’s reminder that justice is not merely about systems and procedures; it is also about the people whose lives are shaped by them. It left me questioning how often we accept a version of events without looking beyond the surface.

For me, The History Sheeter is more than a memoir of personal struggle. It is a compelling reflection on courage, dignity, and the price one may pay for refusing to surrender one’s convictions.

A sobering yet powerful read that urges us to question, empathise, and never lose sight of the humanity behind the headlines.

A right recognised is not always a right realised.

In Courting Equality, Mihira Sood examines the legal battles that have shaped women’s rights in India. But the question that lingers is what happens after the judgment is delivered, the law is amended, the right is formally recognised. What changes in the life of the woman for whom that right was meant?

In our conversation for Second Thoughts, we spoke about the distance between legal reform and social reality; about the family as a site of both belonging and inequality, the uneasy relationship between personal laws and constitutional rights, and the institutions that promise protection but do not always deliver accountability.

There is, too, the question of constitutional morality — not merely as a principle to be invoked in judgments, but as a standard against which we might measure the society we have made.

Perhaps the more difficult work of equality begins where the law, by itself, reaches its limits.

Guest Bio:
Mihira Sood is a lawyer and scholar specialising in women’s rights, feminist jurisprudence and equality law. She is the author of Courting Equality: Landmark Cases in the Battle for Women’s Rights, which examines the legal and social struggles that have shaped gender equality in India.
