Karnalok

KARNALOK, IS THE STORY OF REJECTED, ABANDONED, HOMELESS ORPHANS AND THE WORLD THAT THEY INHABIT. THOUGH AUTHOR DHRUV BHATT BASES HIS NOVEL ON THE SYMBOLIC REFERENCE TO KARNAS IDENTITY OF ABANDONED AT BIRTH, THE NOVEL IS NOT CONFINED ONLY TO THAT SINGULAR MYTHOLOGICAL REFERENCE. DAIVAYATTAM KULE JANMAM WAS KARNAS SIGNATURE LINE. WITHOUT BEING A CONCRETE PRESENCE IN THE NOVEL, KARNA IS OMNISCIENTLY PRESENT THROUGHOUT , REMINDING THE READER OF HIS SIGNATURE. BHATT EXPLORES THE WORLD OF INNOCENT CHILDHOODS IN ORPHANAGES AND THEIR LIFE EXPERIENCES WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL CONFINEMENT, WITH A VISION THAT IS BROAD, DEEP AND COMPREHENSIVE. 'KARNALOK' HANDLES THE THEME OF MOTHERHOOD IN VARIOUS FORMS, FROM UNSOLICITED AND UNWARRANTED PREGNANCIES, TO MODERN DAY SCIENTIFIC METHODS OF SURROGACY, THEREBY ALLOWING BHATT TO FULLY EXPLORE THE CONCEPT OF 'BIRTH'. , , ; . , .
