Book review:
Independence Day is approaching, and I wondered why we celebrate it. Only Indians consider their nation as their motherland and portray the nation in the form of a mother. I was gobbling over these questions when I grabbed this book. It seemed to be intriguing as it was named Mother India. I was curious to know more about it.
The story is divided into sections. One section depicts the character Mayank. He is a common person who could not avail a good percentage but is doing a decent job under a social media influencer. They shoot out ample videos to attract their audience and try to portray a new concept every time. Now they are planning a concept of Bharat Mata.
The second section depicts the character Nisha. She is a common girl who came to the big city in an urge to gain money and fame. Initially she had no idea how to dress up or how to align her costume with her make-up, but gradually she learned everything.
The other two sections depict how her video clip that goes viral has significant consequences for their lives. It is intriguing to read about how this all chaos happens and how social media can be useful or devastating at the same time.
The story makes the reader think about the evolution of the Bharat Mata concept and how people conceive about looking at a lady in the costume of Mother India. The author has raised a few insightful questions that compels the reader to ponder about what the exact motive of calling India our mother is.
Since many Indians or youth are unaware of the struggle behind this freedom and still linger on little issues of caste and creed. The author poses questions about what an Indian should look forward to and why.
I appreciate the way Nisha realizes her mistake of letting her close ones the right to use her video clips for seeking attention. I wondered that these days everything is approaching to seek attention, whether it is worthy or not. This story relates to many such youth boys and girls who commit mistakes unknowingly or assuming facts and, in return, need to face their outcomes.
The author has meticulously narrated that the use of social media is very common and crucial these days to awaken the youth and public of India. Despite many flaws in the system, there are plenty of reasons for which the upcoming youth should change its path for a better India.
The language of the book is evocative and quite relatable. It reminds us of today's scenario where objectification is mistaken for intimacy and attention can lead to violence.
The book investigates contemporary India with its digitization, counterfeit news mechanical assembly, patriotism, traveler issues, strict ill will, savagery, medication and liquor issues, editorial morals, environmental change, destitution, and uncontrolled debasement. Composing wisely, the author utilizes clear, all-around-built sentence structures.
Overall, "Mother India" is a swift, thrilling journey into Modi's India's bowels. It is a perfect read for all social media lovers who acknowledge that posting everything should be known to others without noticing they are hindering their privacy and making everything public. Do grab your copy to unfurl the need to exaggerate.
