Three million pages. Two hundred thousand images. Thousands of videos.

That’s what has just been made public in the Jeffrey Epstein case. And inside it, the story of a powerful man who abused young girls for decades, shielded by money, and a system that looked away.

But this is no longer just about Jeffrey Epstein. It is about the people who moved around him. Politicians. Billionaires. Royalty. Celebrities. Global power networks. And yes, names connected to India as well.

But before we get into Indian names, Indian power, and Indian politics, there is something that needs to be said clearly and upfront.

This story is not about a powerful man and his friends. It is about the survivors. The girls who were abused. The women who spoke up. And about the institutions that failed them.

Let me explain.
