Writer, Rebel, Soldier, Lover: The Many Lives of Agyeya by Akshaya Mukul, Vintage Books
Akshaya Mukul’s 2017 book, Gita Press and the Making of Hindu India, so expertly mixed religion and politics, the macro and micro, that it became hard to tell if it was academic or an entertainer. Given the subject of his new book— the life of Sachchi- dan and Hirananda Vatsyayan ‘Agyeya’— we ought to rightly expect a tome that will be insightful on one hand and an utter delight on the other.
Writer, Rebel, Soldier, Lover: The Many Lives of Agyeya Ambitious and scholarly, Writer, Rebel, Soldier, Lover is also an unputdownable, whirlwind of a read. Shop Now
