This review is from: Men and Dreams in the Dhauladhar (Kindle Edition)
Men and Dreams in the Dhauladhars... a very fine novel.. which inspires continuous reading without break!! This, despite the large quantity of vernacular jargon and references...
The research into vast sub-regions of the Himalayas, the pulse, aspirations of the people....., the driving forces on their culture & life styles.... their fears prejudices and loyalties... are very telling in the quality of the narrative..... and is a compelling factor on the inquisitive reader whose regular sources of scattered and disjoint information on these are the crude media presentations, where facts on ground are always left out of reckoning.
The narrative of the industrial march to reach the far remote Himalayan valleys, which today hold promise for huge wealth generation, albeit one fraught with danger.... the brilliant and the well rounded descriptions of technical operations of hydro-plant engineering... have been well balanced with the stories of grime, sweat and transience of lives of individuals, who make it all happen and are forgotten... to keep the interest of a reader on, without becoming tedious.
Similarly, the stories of streams that flow into the Dhauladhars, from the innermost recesses of technological and spiritual temples, across the globe, and the distant, but very real influences of the geniuses that abound there on every aspect of modern life, have also been brilliantly traced.... and led into the Dhauladhars.

Men and Dreams in the Dhauladhar

Hi

I am the author of the book "Men and Dreams in the Dhauuladhar. The book is published with Amazon KDP
http://www.amazon.com/Men-Dreams-Dhau...

Newlywed Indumati is sent to Helsinki for higher studies, where she slips into a life of promiscuity and is being deported back. Saved by her professor she comes back repenting, believing her sins caused death of her husband. Her son Nanda is the protagonist. Shielded from family feuds, he gets caught up in a murder while defending friends. A man standing for family; he is hiding from law; working in a hydroelectric project far away in the Himalayan Dhauladhar ranges.
Shahazada was abandoned by his parents in Kashmir. Lured into a terrorist training camp, he is sent to live among shepherds. He enters Kashmir as a terrorist guide and ends up killing two of them for raping a Kashmiri girl.
Rekha is a third generation doctor whose family suffered extensively during partition. A performing artist; she is trying to walk away from an arranged marriage. Kidnapped on a pilgrimage to Kashmir, she meets Shahazada. A passionate relationship develops; they elope to Dhauladhar.
Manguram epitomises villagers and their dilemma in times of changes.
Story unfolds as the project develops and people from all walks of life come together; each one with a dream. Sinister plots of terrorists lurk in the back ground. Nanda must live with their struggles and triumphs as he comes to terms with his personal loss. Like an eternal spectator the Dhauladhar watches as men risk life and limb in their quest.
