Ashok Chakradhar Launches ‘Banyan Tree Brothers’ at

 World Book Fair

New Delhi, 19 Feb 2014 : Eminent poet and scholar Ashok Chakradhar launched the ‘Banyan Tree Brothers’ by Pigeon Publication at World Book Fair, Pragati Maidan. Based on rebirth of soul ‘Banyan Tree Brother’ is authored by Dr. Nidhi Dhawan, a first time author.  Her love for books and fascination with interplay of emotions and cultures was the melting pot in which the ‘Banyan Tree Brother’ was created. At the young age of 18, her poetry was published in the American Anthology Of Poetry.

‘Banyan Tree Brother’ is a story of generation of acceptance, dispute and then again acceptance. Two Friends live together, grow up together and apart. As Banyan Tree looks on, life deals them enough to ride on, and then, crashed their waves in a swirling whirlpool of Karmic Cycle.

Famous for satire and comedy poetry, the great Hindi poet Ashok Chakradhar commended the author’s effort of beautifully presenting the tale of a soul rebirth. While launching the book he said “The book is a fabulous work of fiction that shows Hindu & Muslim communities as interweaved in real life and that human emotions & karma influence life far more than religion”.

The author, Dr. Nidhi Dhawan raised the issue of communal harmony and said “It’s been my firm belief that religion originated to get people together and create a sage space in the jungle of survival, definitely not for creating or abetting conflict- as happens in this day and age. It is time to remove religion from the public and political domain and bring it back to one of personal choice and in the personal space and choice. We are each able to find our own god realisation. What we do and how we do defines our Karma”.
