वीरता और बलिदान बुक रिव्यू | Veerta Aur Balidaan by Geetansh Thakur | Book Review | Meghna Verma

Hello!

Namaste

My name is Meghna.

Most welcome to my channel

And today

I'm sitting in the Indraprastha Park

I read a beautiful book

Which I'm going to tell you about.

The book we are discussing today is

Geetansh Thakur’s "Veerta or Balidaan".

As the title and book cover convey,

The book is written in patriotic theme.

Our India got its independence in 1947

But how it got it

How many sacrifices were made behind it

How many heroes shed their blood for the country

That's the story in this book by Geetansh Thakur

"Veerta or Balidaan"

The story is about Phoolma and Kishan.

Kishan, who has

two brothers and one sister.

his widowed mother,

They all are living in poverty

One day Kishan finds out that

the Britishers tend to stop his work

replace the work with machines.

He now worries about his income, family

and how he'll raise his siblings.

So he thinks about joining the Army.

After joining the Army,

working for British made him feel guilty

and in a way he was harming

his own country's citizens.

He thinks that I'm beating & hurting them

"What kind of independence it is!

What kind of work am I pursuing!

But time goes on….

And his younger brother joins

India independence movement

And show his bravery

by protesting against Britishers.

Seeing this, Kishan felt empowered and

vowed to never work for Britishers.

He left the Army and became part of the

independence movement.

The love interest of Kishan

is also portrayed in this story, where

Phoolma is his lover.

He loves her.

How their love grows with time.

Phoolma tries to convince him

that he should go

and join the Army and work for the country

So this is about the short,

beautiful story of this book.

Talking about the writing skills,

The writer Geetansh used short sentences

and has tried to use simple language

for the readers.

At some places,

there is a spelling mistakes

which I can understand

since it is his first book

There are so many writers

like Geetansh Thakur

who want to communicate their thoughts

to the world.

They want to say so many things

but do not find their way.

This is a self-published book of Geetansh.

Writers can opt a way of self-publishing

their book to communicate

their thoughts and opinions to the

readers like you and me.

The speciality about this book is,

When you read this book,

you will get to know the situations

and environment of the time

when India was on its way to independence.

Like when Gandhiji reached India, how did he influence the anti-british movement,

When Bhagat singh stood against the British and became the inspiration for the youth,

how did it all affect Kishan

These are the many types of imagery that has been shown in the book.

On the other hand, the relationship between Phoolma and Kishan is portrayed….

When he returns from his military training,

He bought for Phoolma and tried to put it on to her.

But Phoolma doesn't accept it,

It's really a beautiful scene which is portrayed

He says I really love you and brought it for you.

But she says I will accept it on the day we will get married.

There are many small instances like this that Geetansh has included in the story.

Some instances feel so real while reading it almost feels like you are a part of it. Or u r present there.

Like when Kishan’s mother Meera goes to Shobharam’s house to ask a hand of his daughter for her son,

that' s a very good scenario,

Or when Meera narrates her own story of how she participated in the protest movements against the British,

Like in what ways she sacrificed,

Like how she was married to Dharamveer.

All these small stories in this book make it worth-reading.

So if you want to study something inspiring and patriotic,

you can pick this book i.e.
Veerta or Balidaan
