Whose fault was it?

Whose fault was it?

Whose Fault Was It? is a powerful, intimate, and deeply unsettling exploration of family, fate, and the quiet decisions that echo across generations. Drawn from real lives within the author's own family, this book unfolds through interlinked stories of women bound by duty, tradition, silence, and endurance. From child marriages and unspoken regrets to untreated mental illness, generational trauma, and lives shaped by choices made by others, each chapter asks a question that refuses to fade: Was this destiny—or was it someone's fault? With raw honesty and emotional depth, Sridevi Sarkar examines motherhood, obedience, dignity, sacrifice, and survival in a society where women are often expected to endure rather than choose. The narratives are not written to accuse, justify, or sensationalize—but to understand. To witness. To remember.
