Neelkanth Varni  (English, Paperback, Manani Nilesh)

About to be forced into an unwelcome marriage, an eleven-year-old Ghanshyam leaves home, barefoot and dressed only in a loincloth. He changes his name to Neelkanth to avoid recognition and courageously enters the soaring wilderness of the Himalayas during its most hostile season. He emerges four years later, emaciated but alive, aware of what he must do to liberate the people of India from millennia of conquerors that had devastated its traditions, and driven the people into abject poverty.
