''Of Love and Politics'' is a novel by Indian author Tuhin Sinha. Set against the backdrop of Indian politics, the book is an unusual and a first of its kind endeavor, which despite being a fictitious story about relationships, fixes responsibility for some of India’s biggest political failings in the last 63 years. The book was published by Hachette India on 25 June 2010. A series of columns written by Sinha called "Love Thy Leader" that appeared in ''The Times of India'' generated unprecedented curiosity about the novel prior to its release. ==Themes== The book plays upon several ideas: * That politics, religion and/or ideology are issues that seem impersonal and relatively inconsequential in our daily existence, and yet sometimes, the influence cast by them is such they make or break personal bonds. * That ideological differences do impact personal bonds. * That Indian politics tends to be largely promiscuous – perhaps a fallout of being overly democratic. As such alliances are entered into and broken pretty much conveniently out here. * Paradoxically enough, in the book, a similar making and breaking of personal alliances takes place between Aditya Samar Singh (Congress MP), Brajesh Ranjan ( BJP MP) and Chaitali Sen ( CPI-M activist). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Of Love and Politics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
