Vinay Kumar Singh, Dhanbad's profile

Vinay rated:

The Novel is based on the life story of Surya Dev Singh, the great Coal Mafia of Dhanbad. He was the servent of BP Sinha, the then powerful Mafia cum Politician of Dhanbad. After the Murder of BP Sinha, Surya Dev Singh came into power. The Coal Mafia also had links with Chandrashekhar, once Prime Minister of India. I am pretty sure that the story is very much inspired by this Coal Mafia. Though, Adiga has tried to give it twist and turls in his own way adding a lot of Masala. When I was reading the novel, I could easily relate it to Surya Dev Singh, because we have been listening his story for years from our parents and grand parents. The director with difference, Anurag Kashayp is also working on such script and his projects name is "Gangs of Wasseypur" which is coming this June 22nd. Overall, it was a nice reading. It tells the bitter truth of the society which sometimes is hard to swallow but these are untold stories of success.
