Enigmatic North-East

The sprawling green paddy fields across the valleys and the flora and fauna of the dense tropical forest stretched over the vast hilly regions of various states across the Brahmaputra inspired the unveiling of the Enigmatic North-East . The friendly and lively people of the region and their simple lives are interpreted by a sensitive narration which has seldom been sensed by the outside world. The bridging of this gap of mutual understanding and more so respect and acknowledgement of their heritage is the essence of this novel. The experiences that Arun, Rajiv, Rashid and Shilpa go through in the region provide an interesting overview of the challenging situations that are prevalent in the area. This embroils the issues of ethnic diversity, social norms, political scenario and uncertain future. As the story builds up, it takes some very serious situations into its fold. Still the focus over the individual character is given due impetus, thereby making it an interesting reading. The plot offers various instances which beautifully depict the incidents of betrayal and the test of friendship that keeps the interest of the readers alive.
