Ahimsa by Supriya Kelkar
4.0
Beautifully told.
I borrowed this book from a friend of mine because I was attracted to the cover design and did not have anything else to read. Initially I had no expectations from this book, but it came out to be on my 'favourites' list.
The story, along with the struggle against the Britishers, also puts light on caste system-A huge problem in India. The book beautifully makes you believe against such systems and stereotypes through the eyes of a 10 year old girl.
The writing also stands out as it shows progress with the girl's(Anjali's) thoughts and decisions. The girl explores and finds a perspective on what is right and what is wrong. She develops independently canceling the stereotypes against women.
I also enjoyed Chachaji's character who was the cherry on the cake.
Totally recommended
