English Version
Kobad Ghandy's writing met with critical acclaim. Mahmood Farooqui of Hindustan Times wrote "The importance of this memoir and of being Kobad lies in shedding privilege, in adopting poverty and struggle, in choosing the right life, in suffering wrongs for it, and yet remaining steadfast. Fractured Freedom is a moral lesson for modern India, which both the Left and the Right would do well to heed". Asim Ali of The Telegraph wrote "This is a sincere and lucid book, mercifully free of intellectual jargon or literary pretensions. It is also deeply moving at times, particularly when Ghandy writes about his wife. Whatever one makes of Ghandy's ideas, there are some important insights to be gleaned from his dramatic life". Marathi Version
Sukumar Shidore of Loksatta wrote "As the content of the book is multi-dimensional, it is hoped that the discerning reader will delve into its various aspects". Milind Champanerkar of The Wire wrote "Considering the singular images of 'gunmen, burakhadhari', it seems that this book can provide a lot of insight into the reality, breaking through the myths about the extreme left". Controversy
