Meet Prakash Vir Sharma, an author whose writings are motivational messages on such social issues like the plight and struggle of Muslim women. You'll find his answers on these subjects inspiring:

1. Hi, Prakash, to start off, tell us a little about yourself.

A. Hi Groovy! Thanks a lot for having me here.

Myself Prakash Vir Sharma, author of two traditionally and two self- published books.
Born in a remote village of India, I graduated in Science and Education, post graduated in in Management. Currently, residing with my family in Kolkata (city of joy) and working with India's leading steel manufacturer as Senior Manager.
I am a passionate social thinker and author.

2. How long have you been writing?

A. I started writing articles, poems and stories in the year 1990. My work has been published in various Indian news papers, magazines and on online portals.

3. What genre(s) do you write?

A. I write short stories, novels, motivational. 

4. Where do you get your ideas? Do your characters talk to you? Or do you construct your story from an outline?

A. Social issues are my inspiration for writing. I plan or outline what message I want to deliver to the society and ask my characters to deliver that in an interesting manner.

5. How many books have you published? What are their titles?

A. My traditionally published books are in Hindi language ("Mahakte Panne" and "Pratibimb"), while "Kathputli" (Hindi language) and "Life In Shackles" (English language) are my self-published books.

6. I would like to talk about your book, "Life In Shackles". What is it about? Could you give us some insight on the characters?

A. "Life In Shackles" is about plight of women. There are stories like "The Tatter" and "Talaq" which focus on the struggle of muslim women. The message of "The Tatter" is awareness and emphasis on education while "Talaq" is a story of struggle against "triple talaq".

You know, recently Honorable Supreme Court of India delivered a judgement against triple talaq which may be seen as victory of my main character of "Talaq". There are stories where people use women as a ladder for their political benefits.

Other stories are about social evils like dowry, killing of female fetus and many more. However, it's a small Fiction book, but the situations and characters are available everywhere around us.

A. I love my readers, wish to meet them personally and continue write something Inspirational for them. It's my sincere request,"please mail me when you finished reading any of my book, I would appreciate your reviews on Amazon, please don't forget to donate some of your valuable time to post your reviews which will help me".
