New Delhi July 28 (IANS) Drawing inspiration from the recent campus controversies author Sudeep Nagarkar has penned an unusual heart-warming tale of friendship and romance set amidst the politically charged world of campus elections.
"Our Story Needs No Filter" (Penguin/Rs 199/pp 240) is about Ruhi and Raghu who are in love and finds themselves embroiled in mess as political mania grips college campus with the student s union election.
The book not only explores the dark side of relationships pursuit of power and the hypocrisy of the powerful it also exposes the agenda of anti-nationals and pseudo-seculars of our nation and raises concern over a very pertinent issue of free speech against censorship.
"Political parties in various colleges across India only see one thing when they look at a student -- a vote! Students are the future of tomorrow but a certain section among them is converting knowledge hubs into dens of separatism and anti-national activities " Nagarkar said in a statement.
"I always wanted to write about the world of student politics but was waiting for the right time. But during 2016 JNU protests when I saw many innocent students blindly falling prey to false ideologies I made up my mind to pen down the other side of the story " the author further added.
