HB-424757 FAKKAD : The Parallel Lives is a comparative story of two parallel lives. The population living in towns and cities knows the tribal area as much as it is shown in the media. The state of the tribal region is decided on the basis of politics, feudalism, capitalism and ideology. People consider this to be the ultimate truth as well. Thie novel tells the parallel story of the life of a town-urban area and the lives of Bastar suffering. This story is as transparent as a mirror. It includes experiences that are, or were, direct. Those aspects have been touched, which are ignored, either consciously or with consent. A backdrop has been created in the story, where the 'wild life' defined by the town life and the so-called modern society runs parallel with life and death.
