Started with a bang and ended with disappointment - The saga of Sachin Garg continues. Though the theme of the book is pretty interesting and that's what made me fetch the book in pre orders itself. The way the book started did promise me of having something exceptional in it but eventually the repeated explanation of the tribe made me lose my attention. The only thing that was good in the novel was the cover. I do appreciate the cause of the author but as a reader i felt disappointed.

The Jarawas, an indigenous tribe of Andaman Islands who have been living in the islands for at least several thousand years in isolation with their culture and customs unharmed until quite recent times they were occasionally attempted visiting and interacting by poachers, sightseeing tourists and some dishonest money mongers. They become victims of commercial exploitation and invasion due to the opening of Great Andaman Trunk Road. They were being ill-treated, raped and gotten serious diseases and so on.
"We Need A Revolution " by Sachin Garg is based on these pathetic and heart breaking true incidents of Jawaras. Samar, Shubhro, Faraaz, Jenny and Navya - a bunch of youngsters with different backgrounds get together to fight for a cause they really believed in. But once they started the mission there's no way back from it and at that point they realised the need of a revolution. Revolution to save humanity, Revolution to fight against the system, politics, power but is their determination strong enough to endure and overcome all those fathomless and unexpected dangers on the way?
Kudos to the author for his immense courage to choose such a challenging and unusual plot when campus romance stories are being sold as hot cakes among indian young readers. I heard that the author spent quite a long span of time staying at Andaman to know about the Jawaras and their conditions from a close quarter and this is clearly visible in his description. It depicts as if he needed no use of imagination but only penned down the scenes exactly they were. All the scenes are lavishly illustrated, beautifully designed and the characters are very smartly introduced. But I am a bit disappointed and confused with the central character Shubhro who's shown as a Bengalee but I myself, being a Bangalee expected to have the essence of 'Bengaleeana' in his attitude but it's missing. When Shubhro was asked who's his favourite poet I disperately was wanting to listen the name of Rabindranath, Nazrul or Jibanandha but he disappointed me. He is an atheist but we found him remembering Jesus. And the most ridiculous thing that left me puzzled is about his unexpected quitting. But as the author already have promised us about more installments of the same series , I hope all this confusions will be cleared. Navya, Samar and Jenny were fine and did justice with their respective roles. And about Faraaz, his role is too good. The author built this character very brilliantly and the way he showed the dreadful past of this character in the flashback is needed to be appreciated. And uncle Lalwani, he just made me remember one of my Hindu friend's uncle to whom every Muslim is a bloody terrorist.
In short, this book is really an appreciable work on humanity and indeed an informative piece of literature.
3 and a half ✩ for the story and another half ✩ for the signed copy. :-) :-D

The problem of reading a book with too much of expectations is that at the end, a reader can be left disappointed.
That's what has happened to me after reading this book.
The probable reason as to why many people like this book is because it highlights the flight of tribals in Andaman and other locations. As readers, I think, we fail to disconnect between the social message a book delivers and the way it is written.
There is nothing special about this book in terms of story, character development, drama apart from the fact that, as a reader, you get to know a lot about tribals and how they are looked upon by Government authorities.
This book can be referred as a informative fiction than any other genre.
I still recommend you to read to understand more about the tribal communities and how they are treated around India.

The first 5 page, that is all it takes to judge an author. When I started reading "We need a revolution", my idea was not to judge the author. By my sheer luck, I did get a few minutes of his time. All that time, I was wondering what made this person tick. In "We need a revolution", I got an exhaustive tour into the working of his mind.
"We need a revolution" doesn't leave any stones unturned. I would say 262 pages is very small for a serious topic which the author had chosen. No matter how serious the issue at hand is, the story is narrated in a way it doesn't make shy away in disgust. A perfect mixture of reality and fiction has been brought to this world by him.
Though Shubhrodeep, the rebellious youth seems to be the protagonist I find myself to be much in sync with Samar, who is just a common man. This book is a light read if you want it to be but beware, it packs a heavy punch inside it and you wouldn't know when it would have hit you.
This book can show multiple vantage points on the Jarawa people's problems.
What can I say? the author has done his part by putting forth a real life problem before us and I guess we need to find the solution for it.
Overall, it's a great read for people who are ready to
Awaiting his next book.

The title of the book is an emphatic statement and it made me wonder what made the author make such a claim on our opinion and behaviour!
The book has been an adventure for me. It was un-putdownable after page number 50. The young author has shifted his genre so gracefully to write about an unknown but an important issue- Jarawas, a tribe in the Andamans, India. The story is fast-paced and gripping, highlighting what the youth can accomplish through stubborn madness and perseverance.
I was hooked to this one and I am looking forward to more from Mr Sachin Garg!

We need a Revolution touches those areas of India where discrimination and abuse have been rooted firmly in the minds of people. There are many such places where these inhuman behavior is considered to be a source of entertainment. It rightly serves as the mirror to these sections of India.
I rate it with 4/5 stars.

Such a good book! I want everyone to read this book 💗 Shubrodeep's character is really unique
This book has made me think "what is my currency?" that's what is necessary to recognise in our life
Sachin Garg Sir's books are really entertaining and the one which makes me ponder in silence
If you are reading any of his novels for the first time, I just want to tell you that be ready for some disgusting disturbing scenes which are always hidden from normal people but he brings us to know that
I will recommend you to first read "I am not twenty four" book before this and trust me you will fall in love with shubrodeep just like me ❤️🤌

Loved the plot.

From the time I ever laid my hands on this book, I wondered what took the author three years to come up with a new venture but now, I know what he did, and that's truly commendable.
"We Need A Revolution", a name which itself gives a feeling to come together and fight for a cause, but the cause? That's something one truly needs to know.
An island, a revolutionary, a half built house, a jeep, a tent together they only strike one thing, 'a camp site' but as you proceed with the book you'll realise that not every intuition is held to be true and such is about the relation of the cover and the book.
The book has been written with a third person prospective, describing every event and every revolution the characters put forward in the book.The story begins with two regular Delhites out on a simple leisure trip planned to the uniqueness and calmness of the Andaman Islands. An uncle to show them around the city and make them live an adventure of a lifetime but only later do they realise that what's adventure to them was life to a few people. A simple, yet extra ordinary occurrence than their life changes for forever.
An encounter with an aimless soul, who has aimed for much more than one can think of, Shubhrodeep Shyamchaudhary. A person who has his own theory to life, the theory of 180 days, but what is it? You'll only know once you give a read to this exemplary insurrection.
Amongst doubts and failures the two Delhities join in for a cause, a cause to save the Jarawas, a tribe in the islands of Andamans. A new journey begins only to bring about a REVOLUTION. But how far do they go, what do they gain and what was lost, that's something you need to explore on your own.
'We need to know, whether our youth can stand in for a cause they believe in' stated the author at the New Delhi Book Launch of the book.
Personally, I've never been so keen to finish a book so soon, but with every page my curiosity only took up to a new height. I so wish to know about these people, a bit more now. For that's how real life is to be, we have to live for a cause and I feel that the author actually did what he truly feel for and that's how "he just brought about a revolution" by changing another perception, for this will not end here, at least not for me.
This change will remain until the time it doesn't quench the thirst of my curiosity for these people have become a part of me, I feel for them and by the part of me, I mean the part of humanity and I guess that's all what makes a difference. Good job, Author Sahab!
Sachin Garg, the creator of this series is an Indian bestselling novelist, an first generation entrepreneur, publisher and speaker. He has authored bestsellers like Never Let Me Go; It's First Love, Just Like The Last One; I'm Not Twenty Four, I Have Been Nineteen For Five Years; Come on, inner peace, I don't have all day. He has also co founded Grapevine India Publishers Pvt. Ltd.
After being a daddy to 4 novels, We Need A Revolution is his 5th baby and surely one of my dearest ones. It's a part of a series which will have Shubhro to lead the way to various states and union territories with a cause to stand by. Let's wait for the next, to know what all he has to make us aware of.
It's a true revolution brought within me and I guess that's something which might have happened with every reader. A toast to the revolutionary himself. Mr. Sachin Garg, I guess 3 years of wait has actually paid off well. For I hardly use this, in fact only for the extra ordinary cases, but this ones for you, the book is SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPLIALIDOCIOUS! :)

The book is influential and made me think about the issue raised in it.
The climax is really touchy. The only moment I had a smile of relief was when Navya got surprised to see the ring in her glass of drink. It was a pleasant moment while reading the book. I had mixed feeling of anger, surprise and sadness throughout the book. Moving to the real things that the book speaks of, I haven't been able to read much about it so far. It's only now that I have read this book and came to know about the place and its people. One of my relatives is there, I don't know more about this.
The book is really wonderful and kept me concentrated from the first to the last.
Explore a new world with this book!

I found this book accidentally and it turned out to be one of the very few that are worth your time.
First of all. very important thing: This book is fiction but the events that are related to "Jarawa" - a relatively untouched tribe - are true and that makes it a very informative book and definitely worth it. Especially if you're someone who prefer reading a non-fiction book.
The books has a rather slow starting but it picks up the pace within first few chapters and once all the characters comes together, an adventure begins, an adventure that is not for everyone but only for the bravest and for the craziest because this adventure is not just about some thrills it's about fighting for the rights of those who're relatively voiceless in our modern society, those who choose to stay away from our so called "civilized" world because of many good reasons. And because it's about fighting, it's a serious business where you the cost can be your life too.

I feel, the book is influenced by Rang de Basanti movie. Nevertheless, it is great to see that a tribal community, Jarawas of Andamans have been given a presence today in this book. When Indian authors were digging different ways to make masala-styled-romance novels, Sachin Garg finds an alternative route to give representation to a backward tribal community which are in the brunt of extinction. I appreciate his sense of direction & responsibility as an author & writer respectively; and believe that he has scope to enrich Indian literature by taking up the burden of narrating the stories of the downtrodden, destitutes and those whose stories needs to be told. It will be a good book if the reader can appreciate substance-based-writing.

We need a revolution is a very different book by an Indian author as compared to what I have previously read. It is a book based on a revolution started by 5 people to protect a primitive tribe from this modern world as that can lead to their disappearance. This book will tell you the problems faced by those 5 in their while they try to protect the Jawara community and how they achieve their goals.
I really enjoyed reading this book as I never read anything like this earlier.

This is a story that leaves you spell bound and the way Jarawa tribe and the characters are delineated is enthralling. It talks of a cause and the way the characters work hard to make the lives of Jarawas better.. the side story of Faraaz and his family is amazing..

Characterisation is awesome.
An eye-opening story.
But honestly, this story doesn't need 260 pages long write-up.
Good to read but you can skip if having better options...

Though the story is interesting, first few pages some how I felt made me uneasy. As I moved in the story made me hook to the book.

I learnt about tribals and about different, often conflicting ways that people try to 'help' them. Interesting read. Waiting to read more books from this author.
