₹140.00Forensic Medicine – The hand the criminals dread
– Dr. Vasudha Apte
Nowadays, many films and television serials have introduced the concept of Forensic Medicine to the general public. A forensic report of a crime plays a vital role in leading the investigators to the criminal and convicting him before the court. Despite great curiosity about Forensic Medicine, a common man knows very little about the subject. Dr. Vasudha Apte is an expert and a professor in the field of Forensic Medicine. She has helped the court in many complex and challenging cases.
To make the knowledge she imparted to her students or used to prove evidence in the court available in a very simple and lucid language for everyone to understand, Dr. Vasudha Apte authored a serial of articles on Forensic Medicine in the ‘Dainik Pratyaksha’. The essays in the serial were translated into English, and on 26 June 2017, in the presence of Shri. Praveen Dixit , retired Director General of Police, the Marathi and English articles were published in the form of a book. Many books could be available on this subject in English, but it is the first of its kind in Marathi.
Dr. Vasudha Apte, while carrying forward the legacy of her great grandmother, Ramabai Ranade , has accumulated thirty-five years of experience in the field of Forensic Medicine. She is the only female expert in this field in the state of Maharashtra. After completing her M.B.B.S., Dr. Vasudha Apte did M.D. after her marriage and also pursued L.L.B. She headed the Forensic Medicine and Technology Department at Mumbai’s Nair Hospital and Surat’s Institute of Medical Education and Research. She has also worked as a professor at the Topiwala National Medical College attached to the Nair Hospital.
Former Director General of Police Shri. Praveen Dixit has penned the foreword of the book. He writes, ‘Although this book is written by Dr. Vasudha Apte for general readers, it is highly useful and excellent for those involved in the actual investigations. Thus, police officials can use it as reference material to eliminate lacunae in the cases they handle. The book discusses about 130 varied topics in detail along with their scientific basis, which is placed before the readers in a very engaging manner. The punishment awarded to a criminal becomes unquestionable when the person is proven guilty based on Forensic Medicine evidence. Scientific investigation into a crime is possible only with the study of Forensic Medicine. The cases in which no one comes forward with any information related to the committed crime or at times when the victim is no more or if a crime is committed within family, then it is only Forensic Medicine that can unearth the facts.’
Many of the laws have got amended post the publication of this book. Also, new information is made available with recent research on the subject. Diagnostics and treatment have also undergone changes. Yet this book could guide readers and throw light on various notions and misunderstandings about Forensic Medicine in society.
Israel – A journey prolonged yet successful! – English

Further, it journeys all the way up to the period of the origin of ‘Zionism ‘and independence of Israel and eventually focuses of all the major wars the nation has fought and the development it has achieved. In order to reiterate the significance of the book, we could refer to a paragraph from its foreword written by Dr. Aniruddha D. Joshi – “The coming times have in store, a huge outburst of war, of dissension along with that of man-made disasters and the world, could find itself gradually engulfed in its flames. However, should India and Israel stand together, joining hands firmly united, the competence to confront all these impending dangers, could be generated. Again, should Japan, the USA and Russia extend their hands to join in, in this handshake, the devastation resulting from all the above calamities, could be averted to a considerable extent.
