After having seen the movie the book provides a mind map that moves upward in the graph, debunking the narratives of churches and its political hegemony in democracy makes the reader cope to know the simple absurd factor of nature.

The ultimate philosophy of ‘Arthanatheeshwarar' of Hinduism has been paraphrased by religions in the west with upward and downward triangle /yin & yang. But readers interested to know about these geometric principles should research on Panchakoshas to understand the reverberation of life!

Madasamy a.k.a Jayakanthan is well known for his controversial stories, what can you expect from a commie writer about women was my first perception, but then there were nuances which should be appreciated for his views on women how this society has given yardsticks to define a women's character which has brought too much ipse dixits as social constructs.

To bring change there requires strong and healthy debate to bring down such dogmas against any oppressed collective, but you know what this is just another log on commie novels which had derivative to sideline the main players of the society to create some kind of drift. To bring that it requires strong controversy, so JK just did that just using two simple strategies making the community of the character look like perverts and the Rapist as a divine creature also the lead role Ganga as a half-wit which saddens me also sub-standardizes women in general.

The premise could have been set to any other caste background where there is more anarchy, instead, JK goes with society with the community which is a minority and more open and educated look like a doofus. Anyway, this is a plot where a criminal is portrayed as a hero and the victim/woman a half-wit. This shows the perverted nature of the author and his itch to show a particular community in a bad light thanks to the Dravidian politics of Tamilnadu.

There is no doubt that Fuller was a visionary as many of his concepts are relevant to the current timeline, yet the meta assumptions used to drive the factors are not too pertinent.

I will reread ‘Siddhartha' anytime and at any point of life. Also I would recommend this book as starter for spiritual journey.
