Sakkarbar

by Gunvantrai Acharya

A gujarati brahmin from Valsad (Gujarat) named Amulakh Desai had taken up a mission to abolish slavery. To accomplish his life goal, he had left home and had become a pirate. He would attack ships transporting slaves from one country to another, release them and rehabilitate them. His attacks were so swift that Arabs compared it to a falcon’s attacks. They called him shakra-al-bahar, which later became popular as Sakkarbar.
This is the first book in the Sakkarbar series, depicting the adventures of Amulakh Desai.

Amazing plot and story telling! Could be 5 star read if only used less nautical phrases and words, which is beyond my understanding!
