AAVARANA(The act of concealing Truth)               

The above kannada novel by S L Bhyrappa, translated

 by Sandeep Balakrishna equips the reader  with a new insight into the concept of secularism in Indian Democracy..

The contemporary literature on Ancient Indian HIstory is often written concealing the TRUTH.

If learning lessons from History is a mark of enlightenment, so is breaking free from VIKSHEPA (projecting untruth).

The pioneering technique adopted by Bhyrappa narrating the main story with another inside  story(a historical account with authentic references) running parallel to  main  story makes it gripping and I could not put down the book even once til I  reached the last page.                                                                                                               

The Marxist Historians,Intellectuals,academics and progressive social thinkers need to read this book.

The translation is so good that one feels it is originally written in english.
