Abuse is not an accident. It is a pattern — one that has been rehearsed, refined, and quietly passed down for generations. It is embedded in families, sanctioned by institutions, concealed by culture, and normalized until its origins disappear from sight. The Abuse Engine is both a map of that hidden architecture and a guide to dismantling it.
Drawing from trauma theory, survivor testimony, cultural history, neuroscience, and mythic archetypes, Arnab Chakraborty reveals how harm moves through time — from one generation’s silent wounds to the next generation’s silent scars. He exposes the psychological mechanics that keep abuse alive: the grooming of silence, the gaslighting of victims, the grooming of bystanders into complicity, and the cultural rituals that turn cruelty into “normal.”
But this is not just a book about exposure. It is a manual for interruption. Through detailed frameworks, real-world case studies, and practical tools, the book shows how patterns can be recognized in real time and broken — whether in a home, a school, a community, or an entire culture. The work is divided into four parts:
• The Pattern — how abuse embeds itself in memory, biology, and culture.
• The Magnification — how media, power systems, and institutions strengthen and exploit those patterns.
• The Interruptions — tools for breaking the cycle at the personal, familial, and cultural levels.
• The Rebuilding — how to design post-abuse systems that protect sovereignty and prevent recurrence.
With precision and compassion, Chakraborty blends hard research with lived experience, connecting the dots between intimate personal stories and the global structures that profit from harm. The result is a rare synthesis: both a deeply human exploration of suffering and a systems-level blueprint for lasting change.
This book does not ask for blind forgiveness, nor does it settle for awareness without action. It demands something harder — the courage to see clearly, to speak without permission, and to rebuild what should have been there all along: a culture that centers truth, safety, and sovereignty.
