A. Mohit
|
A Mohit published the first edition of One God in You and Me in 1996. The book received wide acclaim, and a second edition was released in 2008.
Growing up in India's multicultural society, Mohit was exposed to conflicting societal emotions very early in life. His favorite uncle was killed in a communal riot. He witnessed upheavals and watched racial tensions escalate among people in this turbulent period in the history of the country. As Mohit puts it, his strongest emotions arose from the tears of the weakest. He dipped into philosophy and religion to find solace in a troubling time. The result is a probing and disturbing look into the very depths of society's soul. His fourth book and second novel is being published at an exciting time when life as we know it is changing in many parts of the world, including the most powerful country the world has ever seen. Covering events beginning in 2002 and ending in 2024, A Meticulous Plan traces a tumultuous interval as Bangladesh struggles to rediscover itself. The country is in great turmoil, and while the mundane world runs its course, a few idyllic charters spin their magic and attempt to create a tranquil life that we all desire but seldom get to live. The book gives hope where there is no hope, brings life where death seems to triumph, and beckons the reader to a new way of living that may be possible in this strife-ridden world—if only one tries. |

One God in You And Me
|
Religion/Philosophy
Why are we here? How did we get here? Who created us if we do, in fact, have a creator? Where do we go when we die? Aren’t you glad they don’t ask those questions on job applications? Chances are, you and your friends have sat around on a Saturday night with a bag of cheese puffs and pondered such dilemmas. A Mohit’s book One God in You and Me, is just like one of those conversations, though a lot less fattening. Without doubt, Mr. Mohit is a brave soul, putting religion, a firecracker of controversy, in your face, and dissecting the concept more thoroughly than your first unfortunate frog in biology class. It’s well-researched, inquisitive, and gutsy. Like a child who’s just asked his flustered parents about the birds and bees, the book explores the mysteries of the universe while stomping on any taboo topics which may arise. For some people, there may be a gasp on every page, as the author exhibits a blatant disregard for conventional attitudes. He does the unthinkable, challenging the notion that different religions are, in fact, really different. If that isn’t enough, he has the audacity to suggest that while rituals may vary, all religions share a common core, reflecting the basic human need for hope. Perhaps the most eyebrow-raising goal of the book is to merge science and religion. Of course, I would advise you not to try this at home, unless you’ve practiced first with oil and water. Mohit uses philosophy, physics, ideologies of ancient cultures, and anything else he can get his hands on while trying to logically reason so many ambiguities of the world. Though the subject matter is nothing less than intriguing, the author at times, throws too many cookies at the jar, making it impossible to digest everything at once. Math phobics may wince at the extensive discussion of physics, and I must admit my hair curled at first sight of frequency wave chart, but I guarantee, as you read, light bubs will continuously flash above your head.

For Our Daughters
|
Women
Everyone should read this book. It gives a plethora of cases around the world which go ignored because corrupt officials are involved or there is no one to stand up for the downcast. This is not a pretty book. It is not meant to give the reader a "feel good" message, it is by nature controversial and engaging. But it is not without it's positive side. For Our Daughters gives the reader a view of some heroic people who are working to change the systems.
