The Red Market

This book takes you on a journey into the supply of human organs. It helps you understand and appreciate the forces of globalisation and economics that shape our world today. Since much of the business of trafficking in organs is in India, this is a business that is totally opaque. There is no transparency and as usual it is the poor who are exploited for the benefit of the well off. This is a business that is dominated by ruthless middlemen especially in the Kidney Trade and Blood Banks. Most Muslim graves in India are empty because the dead bodies have been dug out in the dead of night by grave robbers. In Gorakhpur poor migrants from Nepal and other illiterates are kept locked up in cowsheds for upto three years and blood is extracted from them every few days. This books also describes the Kidney trade very nicely along with that of other body parts.

An extraordinary books which talks about red market in detail. This book has not been written in confined walls. The author has gone to various places in India and collected so much of information about this red market mafia. A must read to understand what is happening around us.
