Silence is Fatal – A Call For Change is a collection of 25 short stories that presents a vivid panorama of the socio-political landscape, highlighting its paradoxes and perplexities. Interspersing facts with a dose of fiction, the author portrays how humans fail each other even as those in governance make matters worse by their capricious behaviour. It brings to light the deafening silence that has overpowered the rational minds of the nation, who instead of raising their voice against aberrations, prefer to suffer in silence which can prove fatal. The book is a call to bring about a perceptible change in our thinking, perception and attitude so as to address all that ails our personal, social and political behaviour.
