Some people are born to have a legendary life and their legends become immortal even after they part from the world. Such is the story which is told in Rupa Srikumar and A.K. Srikumar's "Mahaveer: the soldier who never died". Many must have heard of the legend of the soldier, Jaswant Singh Rawat. This book is the telling of the life and the circumstances which made the soldier into the man he was. The subtitle of the story is much more than enough to reinforce the legendary aspect of the story.
On reading the story of soldier Rawat, the reader is filled with patriotic zeal and at the same time is also in awe of the soldier and his love for his motherland. At the same time, the fact that the book is based on real life, real people and real events brings the reader closer to soldier Rawat emotionally and unconsciously he also salutes him for his beyond exceptional bravery, resilience and courage that he exhibits in the battlefield.
This book is a much more than must read for not only all Indians but also the ones who want to know of real life legends and their exceptionally strong and brave personalities. Everyone should have this book in their shelves and time and again read it to respect the sacrifices made in the past for a comfortable present of the others.
