Mahmud and Ayaz By R Raj Rao
Mahmud and ayazda 5 stars Honestly it was a very fast read for me and this was the first time I ve read a book on Indian history and present situation With the number of references that were used here were true it was quite hard for me to distinguish it from reality Mahmud s character even doe I didn t liked him a lot because of his unhinged thoughts was true to its beliefs and views I liked how throughout the story his thoughts remain intact Ayaz on the other hand I had mixed feelings about him However they both complimented each other I was so glad they didn t go on with the job they had by the end of the book and the fact that Mahmud was kinda reluctant to all those views made me feel better The open ending made me disappointed I felt the author rushed towards the end I really was intrigued what actually happened to them but now I think I had to get my own imagination to run wild R Raj Rao
Using the legendary love story of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni and his Turkish slave cum lover Ayaz as the backdrop Mahmud and Ayaz set in contemporary Mumbai tells the story of a young casually radicalized Muslim man Mahmud Fakhar who has failed to qualify for the IAS where he had hoped to make a lot of money but also to weaken the system from within and has barely managed a temporary teaching job in a second rate college At a loose end after his entire family dies in the 2015 Hajj stampede he runs into a homeless Hindu lad the illegitimate son of a tamasha dancer hires him as his domestic servant converts him to Islam re names him Ayaz and begins an affair with him It is the start of an unusual life together and a series of journeys Their travels take them to Somnath in the great Sultan s footsteps and then to Kashmir as they are drawn into a life of petty and not so petty crime and almost of militancy After some odd adventures the wheel comes full circle when their wayward life ends again in Mumbai in the neighborhood of Mahmud s birth even as AIDS afflicts one of them Narrated with irreverent deadpan humour R Raj Rao s new novel is funny subversive provocative and wonderfully rude It is unlike any love story gay or straight that Indian readers would expect Mahmud and Ayaz
