The God War

About the Book :

This is a story of a common folk who observes the world minutely around him as he grows. He sees conflicts in the society in the name of different Gods. As a pediatric doctor in the labour room attending to new-borns he sees them pop out of their mother's wombs innocent and un-initiated into any religion. Soon they are stamped with a divine tag and a distinct faith. They learn to have an exalted view of their own faith as they denigrate the others.

It is sheer serendipity that the lead man finds himself amidst happenings that go to form this story. The dissensions go from squabbles and scuffles to acts of terrorism. A holy shrine is attacked by the armed forces to flush out the nefarious elements spreading terror. The masses are furious as their sanctum sanctorum has been violated. The empress of the land is killed in anger and resentment. It leads to mayhem. Many innocents have to endure torture and gruesome death. This is cruel, pitiless and heart rending.

There are some unforeseen unfortunate incidents that go to complete the narrative.
