Description

Book was launched by Mr. Gopal Hosur, Rtd. IPS at Bengaluru ; Mr. Ramana, National Award Nominee and Scientist at Hyderabad ; Dr. Col. Prakash & Dr. Khan at International Conference of Medical Sciences and Social Sciences, Mysuru and Sri. Somaraju, Prl District and Sessions Judge,Vijayapura.

Set in the backdrop of 1990 Calcutta, She is a story about finding one's own identity in spite of all odds. The story spins around the life of Kusum, a brave heart whose identity is often untitled and blurred; it does not belong anywhere, definitely not under the 'he� or 'she� bracket, thanks to our social conditioning. Will she be successful in her mission? Find out in She, an utterly absorbing read that derives inspiration from Tagore's "Ekla Cholo Re" song, which urges everyone to move on despite the fear of abandonment from others.

"She is one of the finest book to read" - Sujeeth Kumar, Project Manager, MNC Bengaluru

"A story often untold. Appreciate the team for presenting She in the best possible harmonious way!" - N K Narasimhan, CEO and Co-Founder, Nascor Technologies, Bengaluru

"Don't miss the ending!" - Raghunath Babu Are, Employee at Microsoft, Bengaluru

Mr P V Ramana, National Award Nominee and Scientist says "It is good have sympathy on cows and dogs, but better to have sympathy on our own species first. Mankind has so many sections of people who deserve much more attention and sympathy than what they get now. This novel is an attempt to draw our attention on one such set of people. It is not easy to run a novel with just two characters mainly and still succeed in its aim. The authors have very nicely managed this without loosing the grip on the readers. It is our social responsibility to read such books to know the unknown feelings of our own mankind."

Nice product

When the author mailed me asking for a review of She. Ekla Cholo Re, that book title fascinated me and I was expecting some huge, voluminous book. But when the package arrived, I was in for a surprise after finding a pint sized book. Though a short read with around 50 pages, this book leaves behind a huge and hard hitting message.
The story is simple and it is about Kusum, the protagonist, whose feminine soul is caged in a man’s body and is in search of solace and acceptance. The author has s...

A short and sweet read

Intriguing title, isn’t it?

Let’s find out what exactly the authors got to say about ‘She‘ and also the tagline, ‘Ekla Cholo Re‘.

This is my first novel that I’ve read from these two authors. One of the best things about the novel is that it is very short, approximately 60 pages and a precise one.

The story revolves around a person named Kusum, the protagonist in the story and our ‘She‘ from the title and the tagline, ‘Ekla Cholo Re‘ is inspired by the famous song ‘Ekla Cholo Re‘ by ‘Rabin...

A Must Read

The Book, “She Ekla Cholo Re” authored by Dr. Shayan Haq and Santhosh Avvannavar is a very short interesting novel that you can read in one go and it will hardly take half an hour to finish it off.
The story spins around the life of Kusum, who does not fits into the conventional male and female bracket. The story is set in the backdrop of Calcutta in 1990. In our society, gender matters a lot and the dominance is more of male owing to patriarchal society and if the person of gender is blurre...

A very inspiring story!

When a baby takes birth, it’s parents are happily asked by the society, is it a boy or a girl? They get one answer of the two and then the baby just fits in the gender role and its stereotyping and is expected to do all what that gender is ‘supposed’ to do all throughout its life. It’s all about a boy or a girl, a man or a woman, a gentleman or a lady. Why are we so dichotomous? Why is everything just black or white? What about someone who falls in neither of these categories that we had made...

A new age book for cultural revolution

I thank the author for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is one book that I feel like telling "Hat's Off to you Author!!"
That's because we can find books which are blockbusters in commercial world. But how many authors are brave enough to touch on sensitive topics such as transgender and bring awareness and motivation through it?
This book is indeed highly motivational and is a must read for everyone out there as it showcases that all the things called ...

She also narrates about her childhood love with D...

It is but a story, unveiling truth through fiction.

"She" is an interesting novella. At first, I thought this story was going to be about a woman, probably an oppressed woman. But, the beginning lines evidently stand to tell a story of a transgender. Though simple in its narration, the story truthfully brings out the plights of those people whose self-identity do not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender. Kusum emerges as a survivour, for she had to bear the mental torture of her own father, and the society. On...

Powerful

I think I will vote for this book, if I have to pick out a good work from all the works that I have so far read from the author. There are two reasons for it. One an actual construction of plot rather than a quick brush up on a given topic and another being the flow and narration

I love how the author have picked up a theme and have worked towards it with the support of a good story. Usually what I have noticed in author’s work is an imperfect ending and a chaotic execution and that is why I...
