“Karmanye vaadhikaarasthay maa
phaleshu kadachana, maa karma-phala-hetur bhur maa te sangho ‘stv akarmaani’”,
which means we have a right to perform our prescribed duty, but we’re not
entitled to the fruits of our actions. We should never consider ourselves the
case of the results of our actions, and never be attached to not doing our
duty. This verse from Bhagvad Gita is the guiding principle of the Resurgent
Indian Patriots, a group of six formed by Retired Colonel Krishna
Athawale to end corruption and greedy politicians ,so that the common man can
rest in peace while living his life in India.
In his own words, the
author Mukul Deva writes “all these years, no matter which party came to power,
they (the corrupt) all survived because all of them were in cahoots. All of
them aware that if they kept quiet about the others, they in turn would keep
quiet about them and everyone got to milk the nation. That is how the Indian
politician had survived all these years. That is why no Indian politician had
ever been found guilty of any wrongdoing or convicted by any court”.
The story begins with the killing
of kins of famous corrupt politicians in Bihar, Pune and Chennai by the RIP
with their announcement in all the TV Channels that if no immediate action is
taken on the errant politicians, one corrupt person would be executed every day
for three days, viz. a corrupt politician involved in land scam, a
corrupt judge and a corrupt arms dealer, starting from the next day
and that India will no longer tolerate the rape of the motherland. Then comes
the superb narration of the plans of the RIP headed by Krishna
and his group comprising of Karan, Kevin, Kashif, Kunal and Kamlesh names of
all starting with the letter ‘K’, which are fruitfully executed, inspite of the
stiff contests from the CBI’s men headed by Vinod Bedi and the Home Ministers
personal investigation team headed by Raghav Bhagat .The final killing of the
designated heir of the political heirachy and the formation of the Government
by the newly formed political party -Incredible Resurgent India is
the silver lining .The softer portion of the story has three characters Pooja
the dead wife of Krishna, Reena Bhagat , the separated wife of Raghav and love
of Krishna and Paayal, the understanding sister of Krishna.
Even though in the disclaimer
given in the Author’s page, Mukul Deva has stated that the characters are
purely fictional, one can surely discern their likeness with the Indian
political scenario. The description of the unconditional selfless service of
the RIP with no avarice for award or reward is fine and inspiring. The story is
crisp and fast moving.
This is a lucidly written thought
provoking thriller proving the ingenuous patriotism of Mukul Deva in every word
and deed of the novel. A heart rending tale from one who has lived by the gun.
A must buy for a good collection of modern literature.
