Pokhran revolves around Chaitanya, born disabled and motherless due to the radiations of the ๐๐ฎ๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ถ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฉ๐ข ๐๐ถ๐ค๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ ๐๐ฆ๐ด๐ต, a phenomenon surely familiar to the history buffs.
Chaitanya strived for a better Pokhran and better governance, despite the harsh childhood he had to endure through. His brilliant ideas (and grades) led him to MIT, and closer to his desire of exposing the truth about the damage caused by the nuclear test, except, his motives got him misguided. โณ๏ธ
A political fiction and a debut by @udaybhan_singh_0000 , Pokhran is definitely a page turner that has explored several elements through a single story - the consequences of political ignorance, desire for revenge (although falsely targeted), and the instant when the difference between the right and wrong thing starts graying out for an individual.
The writing style of the author is quite smooth, and turned out to be quite a quick and unputdownable read for me. ๐ค
Pokhran has also explored the theoretical possibility of ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ฎ - a scenario which would narrow down the ever widening income gap, by eradicating the concept of inheritance.
Quite intriguing I must say, and quite unlikely to be implemented too. โณ๏ธ
I would highly recommend this book to someone who appreciates reading stories based around a historical movement. โ๏ธ
