Surjodoyer Age by Sathi Das [Hardcover]

Rape—one of the vilest crimes in the world. Through brutal abuse of a helpless woman’s body, the rapist derives a perverse pleasure, satisfying his sexual desires. In doing so, he destroys a life, a dream, a potential, or sometimes a vibrant young soul. Many attempts have been made to analyze the psychology of rapists, but sexual desire alone isn’t the sole cause. It is the rapist’s savage mindset that drives the act, rooted in a deeply ingrained societal prejudice—the belief that women are weak.

This toxic notion shifts the blame onto the victim—her clothes, her sense of time, and her choices. Against this backdrop, "Surjodoyer Age" (Before Sunrise) unfolds, telling the story of a shattered dream and the silenced heartbeat of a rape survivor.
