The book ends on a hopeful message giving a grand message simultaneously. ![]() He comes to love India and learns valuable lessons of life as well. He joins the mafia to earn cash, gets involved in gang war and the war in Afghanistan. The protagonist mingles with people in Leopold, is forced to stay in a slum, starts a clinic there and even comes to enjoy his life in the slum. The novel speaks of his entry into the then Bombay and his journey through the city. ![]() ‘ Shantaram‘ I think is a partly true story of the author, Gregory David Roberts who escaped from an Australian prison. A novel that takes the reader through Mumbai’s ugliest places and the grim and the dust of the city to the paradise of Goa to the cold, brutal Afghan mountains. ![]() Nevertheless, ‘ Shantaram‘ is an interesting novel. Reading 933 pages of the ‘ Shantaram‘ novel can be tedious especially when you do not have the time and are only reading 2 or 3 chapters per day. ![]()
