3.0 out of 5 stars a good read ., December 28, 2000
This review is from: Tamas: Winner of the Sahitya Award (Paperback)
"tamas" is a well crafted novel set around the period of the partition of india , amidst passion and violence .

the novel doesn't have any specific protagonist , but is told through different people of different religious communities . it revolves around the increasing tension that builds up between three religious communties : hindu , muslim and sikh , while the country itself is torn in two .

the religious sentiments of the various communities has been handled with great professionalism , without discriminating against any of them .

at times , the book is emotional , sentimental . and otherwise , it is fiery and rebellious .

this book hints at the fact that the birth of pakistan will not decrease the tension between hindus and muslims , but will only elevate it to a higher level .

all in all , a good read .
