After a warm welcome by the anchor to the third edition of OCLF, Mr Sinha and Mr Prasad talk about how the Indian publishing community was moving into the era of celebrating books and authors which also paved the way for a genre that hasn’t really caught up to the Indian readers yet. Subsequently, Mr Sinha and his co-author Mr Prasad talk about how the characters in the book are inspired by real-life people and scenarios. The book is about how China plans to dominate the world one way or the other and how the pandemic is a part of the same master plan. Both Mr Tuhin and Mr Suraj have managed to weave in reality and fiction in a way that makes them inseparable and hit the right notes at the right time. The conversation continues in the same direction as both the authors talk about curating the characters and how they made them more impactful throughout the narration. An excellent conversation comes to a close with an insightful sneak peek in one of the most appreciated books of the year.
With a warm welcome from the anchor, Mr Tuhin and Mr Vaibhav start the conversation with an introduction Mr Tuhin’s book on Birsa Munda and very swiftly the conversation moves towards the issue of the general public not really aware of Birsa Munda and the legacy he left behind because of him being a tribal freedom fighter. Mr Tuhin very well sums up how Birsa Munda shook the very foundations of the British Empire with the help of his tribe and how the British made sure that his legacy was forgotten by rigging historic records. Mr Tuhin tells how this eventually led to Birsa Munda not being a recognisable figure among the public. As the conversation rolls on, Mr Tuhin and Mr Vaibhav take a deeper dive into Birsa Munda’s legacy and how he managed to give the British masters of the subcontinent a run for their money and how it eventually impacted the tribal community in general. As the conversation starts moving towards conclusions, it comes to a close with an excellent homage to one of the greatest freedom fighters of the country.
