This is about the book Chanakya's Chant
I read this book for almost ten days.

There are two types of stories in this book
One is related to Chanakya who wants to take revenge on Dhananda, the then king of Magadha because he killed his beloved father. For that he trains Chandragupta in arts and politics to make him the king of Magadha. The other one is related to Gangasagar Mishra who is a Bramhin and wants to control India. He is a mentor for Chandini Gupta. The rest of the story is very interesting but do not think over about why the Gangasagar Charecter  was installed in this book.
At the end, everything explains itself.

Coming to the review of the book:
The book starts with Chanak being murdered who was the beloved father of Chanakya or originally named as Vishnu Gupta.
First chapter went well and then the second chapter it started to go to Gangasagar Mishra who has no relationship what-so-ever with chanakya.

Reading the entire book only makes you to understand why Gangasagar was added into the book.
I am adding the reason here, if you want  to read it's your wish. But if you want to enjoy the suspense, I strongly advice against it.
Spoiler Alert!!!!!!
After making Chandragupta as the king, Chanakya returns to Suvasini to have a talk. He doesn't free her, rather he keeps her prisoner for Rakshas to arrive. The she curses chanakya which he replies by saying that she also prays for that curse should not become true.

Then she tells a sloka
Aadi Shakti, Namo namah
Sarab Shakti, Namo namah
Prithum Bhagavti, namo namah
Kundalini Mata Shakti
Mata Shakti, namo namah.

If a person chants this mantra 400 times per day for 4000 days, then he gains the knowledge of chanakya, only if he uses it to advance a woman!

This is the main cause of the story.
The script is found by Ganagasagar, and he gains knowledge of Chanakya and uses it to make Chandini Gupta, daughter of a poor man in a slum in  Uttar pradesh.
He makes Ikrambhai, a don in that slum to become his disciple and enter into politics.
Gangasagar plays all types of dirty tricks, same like which chanakya has played when he wanted Dhananada to descend the throne of Magadha to make Chandragupta as a king for Magadha.

Atlast ican say that the book is nice and i liked it very much.
Just bear until the end and you will enjoy it very happily.

This book requires patience to understand completely.
