MUNSHI GUJARATI BOOKS SERIES

Great men who chart their own paths become inhabitants of lonely places, distanced from those around them.

For example, the following lines talk about MunjalвЂ™s ultimate lonelinessвЂ¦ Either through the voice of the narrator or through dialogues, Munshi also talks about his views on power, politics and love. I personally enjoyed the philosophical bits woven into the narrative. At any moment in the narrative the reader would be moving fast with the story. He uses dialogue quite effectively to get the story moving. Though this book spans 485 pages, never does the reader feel that it is stretched. He does not get into long and detailed descriptions. One of the most endearing things about MunshiвЂ™s style of writing is that it is very simple. The Lord and Master of Gujarat also touches upon these themes. The role of Jainism in matters of statecraft in Gujarat, the desire to forge a Hindu nation the beckoning of Aryavrat вЂ“ all these themes strike a chord,вЂќ explain the translators, as they discuss Munshi, the writer in the context of modern times. вЂњThe debates on nation and religion insider and outsider continue to be relevant today, more so in fact. However, many other themes get intertwined in this story and they remain pertinent to todayвЂ™s times. Politics and romance at the core of the themes. Their mutual respect, deep bond and affection continues with greater force in this novel, and one cannot but be awed by their unique relationship. Readers of The Glory of Patan, the first book of the trilogy already know about the unfulfilled love between Munjal and Queen Minaldevi. The romance between Kaak and Manjari is an integral part of this book. Hence, one could say that he has weaved in a beautifully imagined story against an authentic historical background. However, he does take creative liberties with the same. Most of the events that Munshi writes about are documented historical facts. No wonder, the character of Munjal remains relevant even today. If there is a thing as an idealВ politician вЂ“ Munjal is the one!В In an earlier interview to this portal, the translators Ritu and Abhijit Kothari said about Munjal, вЂњHe combines in his statecraft methods of the mind and the battle adapting and changing policies as he sees fit, and leaves his enemies surprised each time,вЂќ. The characterisation of Munjal is probably the best.

Munshi gets into the head of the shrewdest statesman- Munjal Mehta, whose sole aim is the consolidation of Gujarat under Siddhraj Jaysinh. MunshiвЂ™s deep involvement in politics gives his political fiction an authentic spin.В After all, he occupied several prestigious positions in the administration and he was a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi and also a member of the Indian National Congress. In a sense, he is the politician people would love to have! His ideological honesty and integrity is deep founded. The famed protagonist of this trilogy, Munjal Mehta, a politician from Gujarat is renowned for his able administration and long vision.
