Book Review - Salute The Souls : A story of Communal Harmony & Patriotism



 


Title - Salute The Souls : A story of Communal Harmony & Patriotism

Authors - Dr Kumar R Bhushan & Arya Bhushan 

Publisher - Chembila Publications

Genre - Fiction

This novel is all about Love, Sacrifice, Duty & Revenge.

This beautiful story revolves around few important characters namely ManMohan aka Masterji, Tejas - Son of Masterji, Sanam - Spouse of Tejas, Rita - Masterji’s girl friend, JK, Laila, Omari among others.

While the novel moves between the past and the present, it portrays the beautiful love between Tejas and Sanam and also between JK and Laila. The one between Masterji and Rita was more of transactional though Masterji loved Rita more than anyone else.

The upbringing of Tejas as a single father without revealing the biological father shows the sacrifice of a selfless being and the abuses faced by Tejas by his school mates on his maternal lineage was another aspect which was beautifully captured and portrayed in this novel. However Tejas does something which changes the mindset of the villagers. Their approach towards him and Masterji changes completely thereafter.

What did he do?

The role played by Masterji and John in bringing communal harmony among the villages which had a two major religion having a majority in each of the village showed the communal harmony and what makes our Nation unique and being a true democracy.

What I also liked in this novel is the presence of few songs which is attributed to 8 popular singers which makes it a worthy plot to be considered for being made into a motion movie. 

The link to the song is here

Each of these songs are beautifully composed. Kindly listen to all of these songs. 

How Tejas meets Sanam and how destiny makes them meet again is explained so well. If you ever had been in Love, you would enjoy each and every page. 

The inter-faith religion and the consequences were captured vividly. The past of Masterji is a perfect movie material. 

The story then moves to JK meeting Laila and how he avenges the death of this dear friend and the abduction of his Love. Whether he could save Laila and the rest is all you would know when you read this beautiful novel. 

This book is available on Amazon
