Event Description : Penguin India presents 'Let’s Call Him Vasu: With The Maoists In Chhattisgarh' launch of the book by Shubhranshu Choudhary.
An outcome of conversations with hundreds of Maoists over seven years, this book is a passionate quest to find out what ails the failing heart of India. How did Chhattisgarh turn into India’s ‘biggest internal security threat’? How did it become the epicentre of the Maoist rebellion? Why did the backbenchers—the quiet adivasi classmates from the author’s school—turn into the nation’s ‘biggest terrorists’? Subharanshu spent seven years with hundreds of Maoists, asking probing questions at all levels of their hierarchy to meticulously piece together the stories of these hunted men and women. At the centre of
this account is the enigmatic Vasu—at once comrade and rebel, friend and stranger. By
telling his story, Choudhary destroys many stereotypes to flesh out a layered portrait of the misunderstood Maoist.
