About the Book:

Violence is an unstoppable force that continues to escalate, finding new adversaries and methods to fuel its existence. It evolves with its own momentum and rationale, leaving devastation in its wake. Persecution, politics, and diplomacy are the tools of those in power, who often abandon intellect and reason in favor of control. In this cruel and oppressive world, the voices of authors, artists, journalists, and social workers become prime targets. The loss of culture and folklore becomes unbearable, and time itself seems to freeze for those caught in its grip. Before the declaration of the emergency crisis, the skies were already clouded, and politicians were content with their hidden outlaw powers. The phrase, “Neither you’ll stay alive, nor death will arrive,” encapsulated the helplessness of the situation. Amidst this turmoil, an intelligent journalist and his family endure a harrowing experience, narrated against a national backdrop that shakes our minds to their core. Tantu, written by the great and fearless Kannad idealist and author Shri S.L. Bhairappa, offers a gripping tale woven from the intricacies of human emotions, fear, and resistance. With his complex narrative, Bhairappa stitches together a monumental work that challenges readers to reflect on the cost of violence and the indomitable human spirit.
