Where Do I Belong ?
"Where
Do I Belong?" is my second novel (In Hindi)
published by
Bharatiya Jnanpith (http://jnanpith.net/index.html) in 2010.
It is story of a young girl Rina, descendent
of an immigrant in Denmark- in search of her identity. She is
torn between demands of her family to abide by their cultural
values, and the Danish society outside, which is skeptical about
anything un-Danish. She is a Danish citizen and Denmark is her
'Karmabhumi', but in the mirage created by her dilemma she follows
her heart over her mind, while guarding her absolute rights to
make a decision about her life, available to all adults in the
Danish society.
