  Atheist's Yatra
 
  -By Sujit Chakraborty  
 
 
Atheist’s Yatra: This is a book about a small Bengali boy, born to a religiously inclined Hindu Brahmin family. The boy himself is scarcely religious, though follows big occasions like Durga Puja, and is God fearing just before his exam results are out every year end. While holidaying in the Hindu holy city of Varanasi he has the strange experience of traveling through India’s history in a synaptic vision. Yet, he does not become religious, but gradually, as he grows, he becomes a Naxalite, and simply declares ‘there is no god’. However, through various experiences through his life, most of them mystical, rather than religious, he understands the essence of spiritualism He never becomes a political Hindu and remains a crusader against the misunderstandings people have about Islam. He takes a look at science and then Mahayana Buddhism and Hinduism and develops a logical argument to tackle cliches and blind beliefs in religion.
