This powerful book exposes the grim reality of India’s road accidents—real stories of victims, shattered families, and caregivers battling exhaustion and despair. It unveils how inadequate insurance, poor infrastructure, and systemic neglect push families into lifelong debt and suffering. Blending investigative insight with moral urgency, the book calls for a new national mandate—comprehensive medical coverage, accountability from road authorities and insurers, and social support for caregivers. More than a critique, it is a plea for compassion and justice, urging India to confront the true human cost of its road crisis and to rebuild a safety net that values every life.
