BORN TO DIE ?: The Truth About Child Mortality and The Fight to End it
About this ebook
Did you know that over 5 million children die every year, many from causes that could have been prevented with a simple vaccine, clean water, or basic medical care?
And yet, these deaths don’t make the headlines.
Why are governments silent?
Why do hospitals turn away mothers in need?
Why are simple solutions not reaching the ones who need them the most?
In this book, Sree Krishna Seelam takes readers on a raw, emotional, and deeply investigative journey into one of the world’s most ignored crises.
From the mothers who lost their children to failed healthcare systems, to the fathers grieving in silence, to the governments choosing politics over lives, this book tells the stories the world refuses to hear.
WHAT THIS BOOK REVEALS:
The leading causes of preventable child deaths, and why they still happen in 2024.
The devastating emotional and economic impact on families and nations.
How cultural beliefs, superstitions, and political failures are responsible for these tragedies.

How YOU can be part of the movement to stop these deaths.
For readers of investigative journalism, human rights books, and those who believe that every child deserves a chance to live, this book is an eye-opener that will shake you to your core, and inspire you to take action.
If you believe in justice, if you believe in change, if you believe in life, then this book is for you.

About the author
International bestselling author and practising lawyer Sree Krishna Seelam is not your usual writer.
He calls himself a rebel with a “bachelor’s in common sense and an urge to learn.”
His books question power, expose broken systems, and defend the dignity of every human being.
Sree Krishna does not write books to chase sales or fame. He writes to ignite change and to make law, justice, and mental health accessible to every common citizen.
He has written about what others won’t: rape as a weapon of war, the rot of political corruption, the rights a billion Indians were never taught they had, and the silence that kills people who needed someone to talk about mental health.
Every rupee his books earn goes to causes larger than himself: educating rural girls, supporting mental health and elder care, and helping those who have no voice.
One book alone funded the education of more than 100 girls for an entire year — a story featured in Outlook India.
Writing, for him, is a way to give back to the planet for the privilege of living on it.
Known for his rebel spirit and unflinching honesty, his writing is bold, raw, and fearless.
He is often called “The Rebel Author.”
His books consistently earn 4.7+ star ratings because readers don’t just read them. They use them.
He believes books can be weapons for change, and he is determined to use every one of them to spark a revolution.
If systems fail the people they are meant to serve, his books will keep fighting for them.
