TODO KARA TODO is based on the life of Svami Vivekananda. Vivekananda occupies a special place in the hearts and minds of all those who regard India’s civilisation and culture as the acme of sophistication and goodness.
As a youth, Vivekananda attended the Parliament of the World's Religions held at Chicago in 1893. There, he astounded the world with his articulate erudition of the Hindu religion. He swayed the audience with his logic and won them over with his humility. For several years hereafter, he spread the light of Hinduism and nurtured the seeds of an independent India.
Vivekananda wanted independence for India, not just from the rule of the British, but from the bondage of mental subservience to their imperial masters. Even today, reading Vivekananda lights a fire in the belly and makes one realise how much more progress we need to make in order to become truly independent.
Reading this novel, it seems that Svami Vivekananda is addressing us himself. He exhorts us to break free from the bondage of our biases and complexes and fulfil our destiny as a nation of spiritualism, democracy and egalitarianism.
Narendra Kohli is one of India’s most-read writers. His writing is assured and nuanced. His understanding of ancient India and her heroes, both mythical and real, is unparalleled. He looks at history not with the rose-tinted glasses of the romantic, but with the impartiality of a scholar.
