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.

 Much ado about nothing!

Nitesh's resignation and forming govt with outside support of bjp seems to disturb many so called democrats of the country.my fervent appeal to them is not to get agitated and take it with a pinch of salt.no political party in the country is formed to do social service but to grab POWER by hook or by crook.voter is a means to attain that end.voter is never bothered as long as a stable govt is thete, corrupt or otherwise.bjp is no exception to this.wisdom lies in accepting whatever that happens without loosing ones peace of mind.our experience since first general elections is a testimony to it.now TV channels will have a field day and rti activists will create enough work for the legal luminaries,.

FATE SEALED?

The rash and unethical  comments made by jagan on pawn kalyans marriages is condemnable.Though he has the tag of reddy in his name and ,his mother's carrying Bible 24/7 ,large no of Hindus vote for jagan.His impatience is going to cost him at the hustings.He has to face congi,janasena and bjp to win.I am afraid ,he will miss the bus in 2019 once again due to his irresponsible behaviour!

 Cbn's Press-meet.

I feel sorry for the CM.His anguish and disappointment are understandable.His disgust with GOI and PM seem to be more personal.

He stresses his seniority in politics,faults namos praise for kcr,namos advice to not get into ysr trap and  detest namo for keeping him at a distance.He feels belittled and hurt .His jealousy,his ego are evident in his utterances.He equates himself with all andhras and claims that entire andhras are insulted by Namo.He needs to come out of this and make. realistic attempts to win over the powers that be,in the interest of the state.
