Book Review : Janta Store (English)

Name of Book: Janta Store 
Language: Hindi
Author: Naveen Choudhary ji
Genre: Contemporary Fiction / Political
........................................................
Plot: The story of the book revolves around four friends who are students of the university who get in contact with senior student leaders of the university after a fight with a hostel goon and then the life of these friends changes.

Review:  Janta Store is a market in Bapu Nagar, Jaipur which is the meeting point (adda) of youth.

The author has studied in the University of Rajasthan so the knowledge of the geography of the city as well as the (in)famous Rajasthan University election scenario is very well depicted in the book.

Anyone who has been a part of the University of Rajasthan in his student life will be able to relate with the content.

College Politics teaches all the tricks required to enter national politics. This novel exposes the planning & plotting and conspiracies of politicians are engrossed in casteism and dirty politics. 

Reading it was like turning the pages down once own life and re-living the student politics days the madness of University elections.
 
The language is easily understandable. There is no  unnecessary usage of tough or challenging words to show off one's literary command which I liked.
.
The book is understandable and relatable for all and sundry and has the capacity to be popular which it already is.
The writer has used his pen to successfully craft some sarcastic remarks on politics and caste based politics which are a treat to read.

Overall a good book in contemporary Hindi writing and should be read.
