"Had the terrorist attack been confined to Pulwama and the martyrdom of the Indian CRPF, there was no point for me to pen this novel Surgical Strike. But when the political flames began to swallow the nation and its social fabric to exploit the situation, it was obvious for the protagonist Aajivak Babu to be involved in surgical strikes on different fronts.
He collides with the culture of becoming a large gathering turned into robots, sheep, mindless crowd, a product ‘For Sale’ with their remote controls in the hands of unbridled radical forces to hostage the constitutional institutions where media play as an auctioned players of ‘Indian Media Premier league’, then what bitter experience the Indian society and the nation pass through, ‘Surgical Strike’ mirrors it all as lifeline of the novel.
