Aadhaa Fauji / आधा फ़ौजी

<p>This book doesn&rsquo;t tell a story but rather recounts &mdash; some past realities some scattered tales &mdash; which have come to us dressed in the garments of fantasy. The events which our elders once shared around the fire will now through my words &mdash; refreshed with new hues and wings of thought &mdash; take you to that village where ghosts and guns both hang from the palm trees. A place where the lines between jokes mourning joy and pain often blur in a single breath. As I scatter the fragrance of that village&rsquo;s soil I&rsquo;ve made an attempt &mdash; to bring the voices of those soldiers to you whom our society may call 'half-soldiers'... or perhaps &mdash; it already does.</p>
