The highly acclaimed book brings out the long struggle of Dr. Binayak Sen in the fields of health care and protection of human rights. Dr. Sen slogged for the poor tribals in Chhattisgarh. The state government considers him an enemy and has charged him with sedition. The people of that region consider him their best friend. As a doctor, he has brought relief to thousands of men, women, and children. As the Secretary of the People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), he has exposed the atrocities of the police and state-sponsored peace force, Salwa Judum, against the innocent masses.

The authors wanted to pay an emotional tribute to the great doctor who had served tribals in Chhattisgarh. He slogged in Dalli Rajhara, Ganyari, Raipur, and Bilaspur for their human rights, despite heavy odds and the hostile attitude of the state government. I am happy to learn that the authors have completed this book and put the work and struggle of Dr. Binayak Sen in a clear perspective. The authors have worked very hard to collect information from various sources. Dr. Sewak met Ilina and Binayak, besides many activists of People’s Union for Civil Liberties, for this purpose. They have discussed the subject quite logically and convincingly established that Dr. Binayak Sen is not an enemy of the people but their true friend. The noble doctor only wants the poor people to be healthy and happy. That is his only fault in this glorious saga.
