I finished reading your novel yest...Harmohinder Ji,<br />I finished reading your novel yesterday. Here are my thoughts about it as a reader:<br />Bali is a novel that attempts to open a window on one of the most horrific times in the history of Punjab. It was the time when Kharku movement infused with religious fervor arose like a wild fire and was extinguished with blood. Since the author builds his story on or around events that are similar to those that actually did happen even though the characters are obviously fictional, it may not be a stretch to call it a historical novel.<br /> One nice quality of this novel is that it continues to motivate the reader to keep on reading. The central theme of the novel revolves around three broad types of characters. First, there are characters that are staunch, and perhaps blind, believers in the Kharku movement. Second, there are police or government forces that are determined to crush it, and, third, there are those opportunists that play both sides for their personal gain of some sort.<br /> As is true of almost all movements, its leaders recruit the young, most impressionable men to accomplish their goal. It seems like that the young recruits who laid their lives on the line did not fully understand the cause they were fighting for and they themselves became easily engulfed by greed and criminal behavior, which in turn could have diminished their commitment without any realization on their part.<br /> The slow and gradual, or perhaps even stealth, emergence of its protagonist, Gurlabh Singh, may distract the reader to home in on the lead character. Usually the protagonist who is the central thread of a novel shows up right at the beginning, and the lesser or supportive characters emerge as the story moves along. Throughout the story, which is filled with events that are treacherous, violent, bloody, and deadly, Gurlabh Singh experiences no harm and eventually slips into Canada unscathed. He does not even seem to reflect much less regret the havoc his leadership has caused, the innocent lives that have been lost, and the families that have been destroyed. At first blush, one may say that that is the new paradigm –- a breaking away from an ending that might have been rather traditional. Maybe so. But let us not overlook the fact that when we choose our behavior, we choose the consequences. Put differently, we cannot behave in a certain way and not face the consequences of some sort. Moreover, Gurlabh’s arrival in Canada is another way of saying that he thinks nothing of abandoning the very movement that he lead and fostered. No one can lead without commitment and a committed leader cannot just walk away from the cause. <br /> In closing, I would like to say that Bali is a very readable novel and its author did a commendable job by chronicling a period so tragic that no one wants to remember nor can any one forget.<br /> Wishing you much success.<br />Jagjit Brar, PhD<br />jagjitsbrar@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304643481161632731.post-14179615935348740072010-01-27T19:12:37.498+05:302010-01-27T19:12:37.498+05:30प्रिय चहल जी
