(This review is one of Hindi poem by Indian Poet Ramdhari Singh 'Dinkar' I wrote this review assuming reader know about overall Mahabharata story) I was listening to random Hindi poems read by on youtube channel Hindi Kavita. I came across a part of Rashmirathi read by Manoj Bajpayee . Then I got curious and got the book. I started reading and got addicted to it. Though I Knew the Hindi language before but I had not read much Hindi literature. Now I have started to read Hindi literature thanks to Rashmirathi. Coming back to Rashmirathi, It was written by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar during 1950 and published on 1952. Dinkar is gifted word engineering as if goddess Saraswati is sitting on his tongue. Literally, rashmirathi means Sun's Charioteer (Rasmi: Sun rays Rathi: Charioteer) It's a poetic story of Karna. Karna is an Illegitimate son of Kunti which happened to be born when she was unmarried. Kunti abandons the child which was found by a childless couple...

Kama Sutra

Vatsayana time of writing is ambiguous but mostly between 400 BCE and 200 CE What is the book about: First, do not take it for granted or expect this book to improve your sex life or you will gain some great sexual knowledge after reading this book. I came across some people believing that Kamasutra is kind of Tantric or magical book through which they can discover sexual awakening, Kamasutra is not ‘spiritual’ book to go through, it's a just guide and piece of literature which will guide through contemporary sexual behaviors.

Few chapters of the book are explicitly dedicated to actual intercourse but large part of the book is talking about what is acceptable in various cultures at that time. This ancient survey of customs and relationships, contemporary at the time the pieces were written (it is a compilation of works from various authors) offers unique insight, going beyond the popular conception of the book.

An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India

Indian Politician and Member of Parliament Mr. Shashi Tharoor win a debate by two third majority at Oxford university which was about the “Britain owes reparations to her former colonies”. Where in his powerful arguments he demanded an apology to India from Brutish (sarcastically word Shashi uses in the preface for British) and asked to pay reparation symbolically 1 pound a year for 200 years. The speech went viral on social media. After that Shashi Tharoor thought to write this book which is an elaboration and very good compilation of the events about British Raj. This book is not an exactly a history book I would imagine but it is a well-researched essay which argues against 20 decades of British Raj in India. Good point about this book Shashi has tried to put balanced arguments with facts and proofs and it's reasonably well cited. Also, a list of notes and reference and bibliography is provided at the end of the book. The book is basically divided into several chapte...
