About The Book

Gomantak is the story of an idyllic village on Maharashtra's Konkan coast, which graphically describes the Portuguese misrule, during which they forcibly converted Hindus to Christianity en masse and held bloodcurdling Inquisitions terrorizing Hindus, destroying their places of worship, snatching their wealth, livelihood and even their families. Written in verse by Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Gomantak is as much a spirited story of personal triumph as it is of the Maratha conquest of the Konkan. Seen through the eyes of a kidnapped little boy who is then converted and enslaved, Gomantak takes the reader through a roller-coaster ride of many moods and struggles and ends on a high note. The little boy's travails and ultimate triumph are metaphors for the village, the Konkan region, and our country.

Her literary translations include Dr Babu Krishnamurthy's Azad, the Invincible (English) and Jagmohan's My Frozen Turbulence in Kashmir (Kannada). Savarkar's The Moplah (English), K. S. a's The Last Moments of Krishna's Life (English) and Narayanacharya's Sankrant Sanu's The English Medium Myth (Kannada) are on the anvil. Several of her articles have been featured in Indica Today.
