A burning by Megha Majumdar-NOT A REVIEW

You and I at some point of time might have opinionated on social wall , well most of the times it happens impulsive, they call it hot emotional thinking. 

We all knew how radical thoughts are emulating on internet and how hopeless and unheard the minorities voices are. 

But what if it costs your life? This is where exactly this whole book pivots around. 

This book is about how a young woman from slums having a descent job, the only bread winner of the family ends up for a death sentence under sedition just because she had commented something against gov. in Facebook comments. 

No one helps her out and she ends up facing the catastrophe while her trusted ones seek to rise, finding their own lives.

"Reality is stranger than fiction" 

This book is the new reality of the contemporary India. I do stick to the fact that freedom of speech has to come with the accountability but in the case of political views it only ends up being either side of the spectrum whether your national or anti-national. 

Why the politics and nationalism are becoming inseparable things. If I disagree with the views of a politician it is on a individual level that has nothing do with nationality, why it is hard to digest this fact?. 

If you are a Hindu, Upper caste, Male  then life is much easier for you!.
