Reviews

This book includes the following books: Shivaji, Tales of Shivaji, Tanaji. I have reviewed each book individually. The underlying theme of this collection (seems to me) to be how to be a good leader. The main lesson learned from this collection is that leaders have to be strong and flexible; responding to the problems that will inevitably require action.

Thanks to ACK for bringing history and culture so briefly but nicely. I intend to collect more volumes of ACK comics. Comics are significant to learn how the people looked, what beliefs they shared more effectively.
But in this particular book, I found more attempt was put on glorifying a hero even if disrespecting a religion. When a kid will read it, he or she will definitely begin to loathe his or her Muslim friends. I'm very much keen to know what ACK has done to prevent communalism.
