Announcing the Monster  (English, Hardcover, Khan Shah Alam)

Announcing the Monster is a collection of essays by an ordinary Indian doctor, written during the most extra-ordinary times which the country saw with the coming to power of a right wing government in 2014. The essyas are on a variety of topics ranging from secularism to science. The book has been written with deep angst, not anger, at the events which unforlded in the country after the present regime took over. It is an incomplete book as it does not attempt to give solutions. It was not meant to. Solutions lie withing the debris of the problem. The book attempts to create that debris. As someone has correctly said, when you find no solution to a problem, it is probably not a problem to be solved but rather a truth to be accepted.
