A revolution to overthrow the Britishers not just by force but also through wit & intellect!
What happens when a group of men take on the might of the British empire and embark on an adventurous journey to encounter four mysterious strangers, while in search of a long forgotten book written in the times of Emperor Ashoka which holds the answer to several secrets, even as the English are besieged with problems ranging from the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 to Gandhi’s ways & means of achieving Independence.

Endorsement Blurbs: "A fascinating historical fiction, this novel races along in a fast-paced thrilling narrative. The story is set in past but confront issues of our times. It’s dealt so confidently that I’m surprised this is a first novel."– Mayank Austen Soofi, Author & Historian

“Welcome to an exciting journey ... a gripping tale of vivid imagination and deft use of words..... a terrific read , the book transports you to a different era  and keeps you totally engrossed.”

- Amrit Mathur, Cricket Analyst, Writer, and Partner – Delhi Daredevils

"I often wonder if my six year old son Raj would truly understand what many have sacrificed to see a free India today? I always wonder if many among us spare a thought. The price of our freedom?

It is perhaps books like this that bring alive the moments that defined our destiny today, and authors who revisit and recapture that spirit that makes us pause and go back to a time where freedom was still captivity.
I am inspired when I browsed through the pages ... The author's style is fresh and re creates images convincingly, and reminds me how valuable our time as a Democratic India is!"

–Ajit Agarkar, Indian Cricketing All Rounder & Cricket Expert

“The Bhairava Putras” is a story of uprising of a small town against its high and mighty colonial masters. It is not only a story of revolt against cultural imperialism but is also a fight for one’s freedom. The message and the story are both relevant for today’s time when cultural imperialism is shaking the traditions and customs of our society. On the whole it is an interesting effort. I offer all my best wishes to the author.”

- Amarendra Sharan, Ex Additional Solicitor General of India

 

 

ENDORSEMENT BLURBS

 

 “Brilliant...gripping suspense...racy.... There is a crisp freshness about the writing which makes it thoroughly enjoyable. Not only is the story line absorbing but the style is mature as well, which makes you want to read more. A magnificent read and a sure shot bestseller.”

-  Neelima Dalmia Adhar, Author & Poetess

"I found this first novel by a promising young author an interesting mix of fiction, fact, history and myth. The tale of conflict between the imperious British rulers and their Indian subjects is etched in shades of grey, rather than black and white. The story develops gradually and subtly beyond the usual tale of the colonial encounter where rapacious officer meets downtrodden peasant to bring in a range of characters who people the setting. Set in the last decades of colonial rule, it brings to light a fascinating period of modern history in an extremely readable form. I found it most encouraging that a young student of law has delved into the history of our independence movement and presented it in a way that would reach across to his generation."

- Sucheta Mahajan, Author & Prof. of History at JNU

"What a wonderful book! A storyline brilliantly interweaving history, action and wit with thrill, deception and mythology. Feel extremely proud that a young law student has handled such a theme with deftness and requisite thrill to make it all the more interesting for the readers. Happy that Suhail has also paid homage to the first Registrar of the National Law University, Delhi; Late Prof. (Dr.) Ghanshyam Singh by naming the lead character's father, Ghanshyam. A fascinating and gripping tale for all ages...don't miss it"

- Prof.(Dr.)Ranbir Singh, Member Sri Krishna Committee & Vice Chancellor, National Law University, Delhi

ENDORSEMENT BLURBS

“A brilliant, engrossing piece from a debutant writer who reaches out to the readers through his pictorial writing style and vivid imagination. The blend of historical facts and fiction makes the narrative fast and thrilling. The smooth anecdotes and characters make a subtle resemblance to the present times...making the reader pause and think. It’s not always the victory of the mighty but wit and strategic astuteness has a greater role to play...”

-       Shyam Grover,  Group Editor & CEO, Lex Witness - India's 1st Magazine on Legal & Corporate Affairs

“Suhail Mathur has taken an important and unusual step in undertaking a historical novel when most young legal trainees would be focused exclusively on learning the ropes for  the legal profession - his dedication in completing a work of historical fiction based on  India's freedom struggle at such a young age is truly impressive. His topic of choice also shows courage and the will to tread a different path and make the effort that goes with it: I hope Suhail finds the encouragement needed from his first endeavour to continue to explore creative aspects of life, even as he builds his legal career.”

-       Ajay Bahl, Partner, AZB & Partners



It is really appreciated by famous personality and I am sure readers interested in historical fiction will also enjoy it. As an avid reader, I am also interested to purchase this book and Strongly recommend to all my readers.

Synopsis : "Does love manage to find a way, even when all illusions fade? Where does the journey end?"

Akshat Diwan has everything that the tangible world can offer for a dreamlike life – luxury cars, a palatial mansion, extravagant wealth and an heirloom of infinite opulence. All but peace! His parents are forever in a state of prolonged hostility; adding to it failing spurious friendships and dwindling love life which metamorphoses him into a soulless creature. Cursing his misfortune and in an attempt to end his anguish and disparity, Akshat embarks on an unknown journey, seeking nothing but solitude, or perhaps a glimpse of his inner being. It is when he meets a stranger that he realizes his journey is not just any journey, but a roller coaster ride to unravel the harsh realities of life.



It’s No Longer A Dream is all about collecting the shattered pieces of meaning of life, love and relationships and bringing them back to a whole again.

Sometimes Harsh realities change yourself and sometimes A stranger can change you completely. To know more about Akshay... Pre-order the book from Amazon

About The Book:  Love = Sex?  Love+Sex=??  Love-Sex=???  Sex-Love=????
 

Welcome to Rainbow – The Shades of love. This is not a book to teach you about love or how to get a beautiful girl to bed, rather it reveals how bad things can get if you don’t set your priorities right.

Rainbow – The Shades of love is a contemporary story of a boy next door and his experiments with love. It’s a story about the most explored life aspect ‘Love’  ‘Sex’. YUVI is a pleasure-seeking boy who loves to drink, party with friends and have time-pass girlfriends. But then, he falls victim to the same notorious life facet called love. SIMRAN’s beauty sweeps him off his feet and he leaves no stone unturned to seek her special attention.

But their love story is filled with sour and salted flavors of life; they get caught by Simran’s brother on the very first date. For his second date Yuvi had to miss his entrance exam for his dream ‘Masters Degree’ and after that he had to spend a night in lockup for a brawl with Simran’s brothers. And when all this got over and they conquered this ‘Zaalim Zamana’; as of his basic nature Yuvi couldn’t stop himself from fiddling with other girls. He spent a night with his boss’s wife and had a sexy merger with his friend’s girlfriend.

As he fell in love, slept around with all the erroneous girls and when his fate threatens to take his love down, he promised himself to stop all that and came out of the wreckage……….But then, his past deeds comes back to his present and that tears his life apart.

What follows is an uneasy course of getting his love back on board. The story reveals the life of today’s youth, their friendship, feelings, priorities, and ineptitude to handle relationships and not to forget their turmoil between two critical facets of life:  love & Sex

The story reels around Yuvi and Simran with his P.G. Life and office in the backdrop. Night outs with friends, All night drinking binge, Dream date with girlfriend, steamy one night stands…………… All this makes RAINBOW a spicy fun-filled nonstop story.

Based on real life experiences and tea time gossips...
