Controversy

It was alleged that content of this book is full of harsh languages against Muslim[16] showing the naked reality of India where Hindus and Muslims[17] still keep arguing and fighting against each other to prove whose religion is better. A part of the story where a girl is raped by four Maulvies[18] invited sharp criticism.[19] A Maulvi and a Muslim group in Gaya have protested against the author[20] and have asked the book to be banned.[21] He responded[22] by saying he didn't intend to hurt Maulvis[23] and he didn't want to project any generalization towards the whole religion through it.
