Trishul

Trishul is a novel by veteran storyteller Shivmurti that departs from the norm of his stories and presents a new perspective and approach. Communalism and casteism have long been deeply ingrained in our society, but the race to fuel their political agenda has led to a worrying increase in their toxicity and aggression. As a result, a profound sense of insecurity, distrust, and hostility is growing in society today. The contractors of religion, caste, and sect are constantly widening the gulf between people. Trishul is not only the story of the temple complex but also the turmoil and breakdown prevalent in todays society. By drawing on nationwide upheaval, the author boldly and ruthlessly exposes the distortions of casteism and the conspiracy of communalism. He challenges shallow Hinduism. Trishul received not only praise but also a barrage of opposition. It was called a work that incited and ignited caste wars. A long condemnation campaign was launched through pamphlets and meetings to ban it. This novel also clearly indicates that only the oppressed and downtrodden, facing exploitation and oppression, can give a befitting reply to reactionary forces and are giving it. The characters in the novel, whether they are Pale, Mahmud, Shastriji, the watchman, or Misirain, even the cow, calf, or dog Jhabua, touch the readers heart deeply. A memorable and collectible novel that exposes the contradictions of Indian society.
