Book Review One Indian GirlChetan Bhagat announced his latest book One Indian Girl via tweeting it. He also shared the official teaser which you can watch. One Indian Girl is the Ninth book of the author. His previous book Half Girlfriend is very well received by his readers and soon releasing as a movie.Unlike his previous books, Bhagat chose a female protagonist and written the story in female first person. A girl who is well educated, Intelligent and successful in his life. Unlike other girls, she has an opinion on everything. Here is the Book Blurb :

“Hi, I’m Radhika Mehta and I’m getting married this week.

I work at Goldman Sachs, an investment bank. Thank you for reading my story. However, let me warn you.

You may not like much.One, I make a lot of money.

Two, I have an opinion on everything.Three, I have had a boyfriend before. OK, maybe

two.Now if I were a guy, you’d be cool with it. Since I am

a girl, these things don’t make me likeable, do they?”

The Story starts with the wedding scene of Radhika Mehta. It’s the first destination wedding in Mehta’s family. Everywhere is a pleasant chaos of the wedding preparations and relatives. Goa Marriott is the hotel where both families are planned to stay.But in the last minute, Goa’s CM came in the hotel for an event due to which Hotel staff reduced the no. of rooms booked by the Mehta’s. And then the pleasant chaos converts into a horrible mess.Radhika suggested a relocation for the boy’s side but her father and relatives denied. And the logic behind denial is that “You can’t ask boy’s side to adjust because they are The Boy’s side.” Really? Is that so? But in India, it’s like our traditions to expect adjustment from females. In this book, the author tried to make you understand the female point of view.As the author says that women are mysterious and no one can actually understand what they really think. He added that ” I have wanted to write a book in female first person for the past several years. Not only that, I wanted that book to be about women and deal with feminism.

Why should Read :The author tried a new thing this time. Chetan Bhagat came in a female version through this book which is definitely fun to read.Like his previous books, this book also consists a strong message to the society. I think Chetan Bhagat is doing his bit for the society along with entertainment. One Indian Girl is a story which is based on feminism and the pathetic attitude of people towards females.
