Reviews

“Daring and bold, this collection of essays by Rustam Singh dwells on various aspects of human social and individual existence. These are fascinating questions that the book addresses, in a manner both engaging and questioning, challenging the reader to examine the fundamental presuppositions of his/her being and acting. As such, the book deserves a wider audience, a wider readership, and a publication of this work by an international publisher is one of the ways in which the book can be opened up to the global readers. A highly recommended work.” Saitya Brata Das, Associate Professor, Centre for English Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India.
