The Inferno - A Thought Fire By Kanishk Banka
Book
Blurb -
The volcano has to erupt.
It is a matter of time when it does
and all that comes under the shadow of its burning ashes...
Sikander is a pious Muslim, who is a
wrong person in the wrong place.
Siddharth, rebel at heart with no aim
in life.
Zaina, a silent spectator of fate’s
play.
The three lives search their
identities in the streets of Delhi...Will they come under the fire too? They
will....
As the quagmire of religious
fanaticism and games of politics merge, the three lives collide, leading them
to raise their voices against social illusions and sink deeper in their inner
conflicts of personal desires and social responsibilities.
An Inferno, which threatens to consume
love, lives, peace and ideals...
"Power,
politics, terrorism, society and the youth!!!"
"The book
is dedicated to the youth and the turbulence in their young and revolutionary
minds...” Times of India
"The
Inferno reflects a social situation where politics and religion are
sovereign...”
"Kanishk
Banka - debuting on a serious note...” Hindustan Times
"Today's
youth does not just want to read just about love stories & relationship;
politics, terrorist attacks, extremist
elements in the society, are also the issues youth think about. This is
depicted in The Inferno..." Dainik Bhaskar
The social conditions always ignited
in me a rebel. Having studied sociology and psychology, I have always been
fascinated and troubled by all the social issues and situations and human mind.
A revolutionary thought remained ignited. Then the sad 26/11 happened.
Terrorism as a whole made me think hard. Thus, the seeds of my first novel were
sown. It is an upcoming series in which I will try to come up with the right
interpretation of things as they are.
Besides this, I had always intended
that my words make people think. The fiction books I saw in market were all
about love and relationships. I felt that it was unfair to deal with just one
aspect of the multi-dimensional youth of our country. In a literary from, I
intended to present social scenarios and involve people in it at a physical and
intellectual level. The idea is make people see the reality and make them think
about what is right and wrong without prejudice and bias.
