Review of The man who wanted to be God
[Following is a volunteer review of "The man who wanted to be God" by Ruchir Verma.]
In a tale of good versus evil, the belief that being good guarantees victory is questioned. The narrative explores the ambiguity of this promised triumph. The Srivastava family's annual pilgrimage to Allahabad during the Dussera festival showcases their deep devotion and traditions. Daata, a young boy, yearns for a He-Man toy but is disappointed by their financial constraints. As they journey home in darkness, Daata faces his fears. Daata left for university due to limited education options in Tikri.
Daata, hiding his scars with makeup, felt accepted by his classmate Ramesh and his friends. Daata founded "Daata Trust" in New York, aiming to help individuals who felt wronged by divine fate. Unlike typical charities, Daata's mission focused on uplifting the spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being of those disillusioned by their faith. With his confidante Mansi, Daata planned to gather personal stories and offer aid.
"The man who wanted to be God" by Ruchir Verma captivated me deeply with its intricate narrative and profound themes. The protagonist, Daata Raam Srivastava, is a complex whose journey is both tragic and enlightening. From the very first chapter, the story grips you with Daata's dramatic confrontation with nature atop the Statue of Liberty, symbolizing his tumultuous inner life and defiance against a world that has repeatedly wronged him.
The book delves into the depths of human desperation and the quest for divinity, exploring how Daata's belief in his godhood drives him to extraordinary lengths. His childhood, marked by a harsh lesson in respect for knowledge, sets the stage for his relentless pursuit of a higher purpose, despite losing everything dear to him. The vivid descriptions and emotional depth of Daata's experiences make his struggle palpable and relatable. The book emphasizes strategic vision, personal investment, and strong partnerships are essential for impactful endeavors. In philanthropy, addressing spiritual, physical, and emotional needs fosters a holistic approach. So, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
Verma's writing is rich in symbolism and introspection, making the reader ponder the fine line between madness and divinity. The book's ability to evoke empathy for a character like Daata, who grapples with his identity and purpose is a testament to its captivating storytelling.
Conclusion: This book is ideal for readers who appreciate philosophical explorations, spiritual journeys, and the complexities of human nature. This book is particularly engaging for those interested in ethical dilemmas and the quest for understanding divine purpose and human integrity. Lastly, the book is perfectly edited without errors, and I also found no dislikes in the book.
