Vaishali Ki Nagarvadhu

Vaishali Ki Nagarvadhu by Acharya Chatursen



 Vaishali was first democratic kingdom(around 2500 years back) of North India. It is contemporary to Lord Buddha. Chatursen claims that Novel is written after good amount of research and truly explains the society at that time. It story about Ambapali a very beautiful or let us say most beautiful in whole kingdom. Novel starts with her father is moving to some other place with her and also worried about people not noticing her beautiful daughter otherwise he know that they will claim her as Nagarvadhu. Anyway she becomes nagarvadhu but after some time she leaves it when she comes to know about Buddhism spirituality.

Shatranj Ke Khiladi

Shatranj Ke Khiladi by Premchand


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The time-line of the story is when British are on their way to get hold of whole India. This truly depicts how the royal family in India has become at that time. Just enjoying the present and never giving any thought to state/people. Premchand wrote the story in comic way which is enjoyable.
The story is about two royal persons.
Their desire for the game is amazing. Same is true for their irresponsibility toward their families and state. When the city Lucknow was being captured by the British they are enjoying the game far from all this in an old broken fort.
