Prominent author of novels and short stories in Hindi, Manisha Kulshreshtha talks to broadcaster Achala Sharma about her latest novel 'Sofia' published by Samayik Prakashan. Welcome to the 21st century in India! A young Muslim woman Sofia falls in love with Shailesh without realising that she has stirred up a hornet's nest as she grapples with the issues of caste, class, patriarchy and above all- religion. Sounds like a usual story but 'Sofia' has got another twist- not the usual 'love jihad' but 'honour killing'. In a trivia on books, Pervaiz Alam discovers how old is the concept of having public libraries.
