really liked it

Exceptional. Even in translation the play is flawless. The way Karnad touches on the contemporary politics through history is brilliant. I think it gives the play an universal appeal. I found the plot to be multi-layered and would love to read it again a few times. There is a lot of depth in the plot and I think just one reading is not really enough, at least for me. A detailed author’s note, an introduction by UR Ananthamurthy , an essay by Aparna Dharwadker on “Historical Fictions and Postcolonial Representation: Reading Girish Karnad’s Tuqhlaq� at the end made my version from Oxford University Press made the book even more interesting. It is a must read and will continue to pull readers for a long time.
