Tuhin has always come up with promising books like "that thing called love" and "22 yards". "Of love and politics" called by himself his best creation so far. This increased the excitement level to grab my copy asap, as i have always been a fan of tuhin's writing.

Cliched, trite, overdone, sterotyped ... some words that come to mind after reading this disaster called Of Love and Politics.
The story had potential - three people from three different political ideologies cross paths and their lives are never the same again. But poor writing and clumsy editing just kill whatever promise the premise held.
The love part does not involve you, the politics is extremely naive. The story does pick up some steam towards the last few chapters, beginning from a chapter...more

This book is an amalgamation of two distinct Indian attributes, love and politics as the title suggests. It is a complicated mix of feelings and patriotism and you can just gape at the amount of research- from naxalites to the history of political parties in India- the author has undertaken. The book picks up from the first chapter itself and goes onto move in a cyclical wave, confusing the reader at times but delighting him mostly. Some people compared it with the film ‘Rajneeti’ but after the...more
Considering he is an Indian Author, I appreciate him to take a different topic, not the regular one...and he writes well, though it does get a little dragging in the end...and of course, with a major part of the story regarding relations not working out, Tuhin could only write a fantasy novel if he wanted to tie lose ends and make it happy ever after...
Might give others by him a try over the course of time...

Beautifully written in elegant prose, this book will keep you hooked even if you have nothing to do with ‘That thing called politics’ (having read Tuhin, you’ll have something to do with That thing called love!) The amount of research and intellect of the author will never cease to amaze you and it’s indeed a delight when little known facts hit you at the most unexpected times. The climax is a little unexpected and came a little sooner than I had anticipated, but nevertheless, this one’s a top r...more

Had read Tuhin's previous books
Its a simply outstanding book..one of the best that I have ever read. The way Sinha balances the personal with the political throughtout the book makes it an extremely enjoyable read. Besides, the book throws rare insights into our politics- A must read for GenNext which tends to be ignorant of so many facts. Kudos Sinha.. waiting for more!
I found it interesting to learn about the relationships between three major Indian political parties while reading a love-triangle story. The book's writing was good enough, but I found myself bored nonetheless. I would recommend it for those who like love stories and do not want to read anything difficult.
Burned my eyes even though it was interesting for WHAT IT SAYS about who the bon-bon eating class of this country. Lots to say. [Women characters AWFULLY written, political multilateralism elevated to a mythic pedestal of ultimate solutions. Wut.:]
Good... but the characterization of Chaitali Sen (A communist activist with pub culture.)...i felt it totally absurd.
