The book can be read to get an inside view into what goes in the families of those who are wrongly incarcerated and how brutal can be a state against it's minorities.
The book however lacks a lot on the following fronts :
1. Writing style is pathetic. I read the hindi version and found so many spelling errors, broken sentences and unwanted repetitions. The writers must take some literary writing lessons.
2. Given the lack of legal experience on the part of writers, the book utterly fails at explaining why were those Muslims wrongly accused. The book fails to highlight the loopholes in the system.
3. The book merely focusses on the third degree torture in the Indian jails, the communal nature of jail officials & jail inmates and the hardships faced by the families of those who are *framed* by the state. The book not not only fails to explain the reasons behind all these but it couldn't even explain each of these themes eloquently.
4. The book doesn't talk anything at macro-level like how many Muslims are wrongly incarcerated overall. What's the percentage of their acquittal and what's their average stay in jail. It seems that the writers have merely taken interviews of some guys who were framed by the state authorities and have copy-pasted those interviews in the form a book.
5. The authenticity in the stories narrated is ensured or not is never discussed in the book.
6. Most of the cases present in the book are from MalegaoN and hence this may not be the correct representative of what is happening accross India
