Chup: Breaking the Silence About India's Women - Deepa Narayan - ★★

AUTHOR: Deepa Narayan
GENRE: Nonfiction, Feminism
PUBLICATION DATE: March 8, 2018
RATING: 2 stars.


I wanted to like this book so much. I tried my best to. But sadly, I just couldn't. It just drags and drags after the first couple of chapters. I would have DNFed it were it not for the guilt factor to read it out of loyalty to my gender. 

The writing style is more like a feminist rant. I am agree with many of the points given in the book but not all. A more grounded approach and a different writing style (less of the bluster and more of pragmatic action points) would have made this book so much better and impactful. 

This is a case of good intention with bad execution.
