About the Book

In fairytales, good triumphs over evil and mirrors don't lie. Reality, however, presents a different picture as fairytale marriages fall apart and end in a ghastly nightmare: battered brides, unnatural deaths and the ubiquitous 'dowry'. Why does the spectre of 'dowry death' continue to haunt Indian society even a decade into the 21st century? Robin Wyatt, with Nazia Masood, investigates this very problem in Broken Mirrors, urging readers to look beyond the obvious. The narrative, as it effortlessly turns its gaze from the story of a survivor of domestic violence to that of one accused of the crime, smashes the conventional image of so-called 'dowry deaths'. It picks up each of the shattered pieces of the mirror and looks into them closely, and what emerges is a complex portrait of a society where marriage counselling remains taboo and inaccessible to large sections of the population, where the quest for 'justice', armed with powerful, 'pro-women' anti-dowry laws, brushes aside the truth behind the breakdown of many a perfect marriage.

About the Author :
Dr Robin Wyatt is a freelance social research and evaluation consultant from the United Kingdom, who spreads his time between the UK and India. He has worked not only on international and social development issues, but also on UK social problems and on more political matters in multiple country contexts. His development-related work has concentrated more on gender in recent years, though social exclusion, poverty and governance have also taken up a lot of his attention. During his career to date, he has undertaken assignments for organisations such as the World Bank, the Cabinet Offi ce of the British Government and The Carter Center. His greatest professional passion is fi eld-based research project management and implementation, and he specialises in qualitative research methods. Within this, he is especially adept at sensitive subject fi eld research, such as working with victims and those who stand accused of violent crimes. Robin is a keen independent traveller, trekker and photographer, and when he is not working, one will more than likely fi nd him in some little-explored locale.
