The Great Indian Novel

Very well written. It is no easy task to draw parallelisms to the Mahabharata. Yet, Shashi Tharoor does a great job of fitting in our freedom struggle and the years that follow, almost as if Mahabharata was based off of them! Definitely a recommended read given its unique symbolism, unmatched alliteration and a style of writing almost certainly missing in Indian writers.

Somehow, I feel as if I would have to give this book another read to better understand a few things Tharoor has tried to convey.
