SATYA SELEUCUS: FEATURE SANGRHO: Volume-1
About this ebook
The name of the book is picked up with sarcastic connotation from a famous dialogue by which Emperor Alexander expressed his astonishment about India to his general Seleucus in a famous Bengali drama by D. L. Roy. Selection of the issues is versatile and their analysis is unique and very penetrating. The author’s concern for violence against women and minors, gender issues, increasing crime and terrorism, baffled sense of nationality amidst ruthless political rivalry in India ought to be a brain teaser for the readers. Some traditional festivals and their crisis have also been covered. The beauty of the collection lies in the author’s keen impaertial observation and bold candid yet compassionate representation. A good sense of humor and sacasm make the articles more palatable.
