Interrogation by Sagar Kumar

 Interrogation by Sagar Kumar | Book Review

"Interrogation" by Sagar Kumar is a powerful story that leaves a lasting impression. Every scene is packed with a lot of emotion, subtle resistance, and the raw truth.

 Based on real events, the book depicts a young man's painful journey within a Bengaluru police station. The author's simple yet impactful writing conveys his fear and quiet strength, highlighting how deeply dignity can be hurt while showcasing the incredible resilience of the human spirit.

 The book does not entertain in the traditional sense — it disturbs, provokes and ultimately transforms the readers. Being drawn into an emotional courtroom where the jury is the conscience of society itself is more like witnessing than reading, and the author's storytelling is extremely intimate. 

Every chapter feels like a confession, every paragraph a fragment of a life broken under the weight of bureaucratic brutality. Yet what sets the narrative apart is its refusal to indulge in sensationalism. 

The violence is not embellished for dramatic effect. Instead, it is presented quietly, factually and devastatingly, with all the more power for its restraint.

The book demands that we feel it and we sit with it, as the author implores, and while doing so, it forces us to reckon with the dehumanising silence that often surrounds such injustices!

 Highly recommended!
