Randamoozham, Bhima

Read an article by Prem Panicker, about the nature of the current protests; he argued that the protests have now moved from being only against CAA and NRC, and has enlarged in scope to one against the problems in the country, arising from policies of the government. 

Curious to know who Prem Panicker was, I read his wikipedia page and found that he is a cricket journalist, and he had translated the Malayalam novel 'Randamoozham' into English, titled 'Second Turn'. I recalled that this was being made into a movie starring Mohanlal.

I looked for the English translation on Amazon, but I found it with the title of 'Bhima', translated by Gita Krishnankutty. I downloaded a sample from Kindle to get a perspective on the book. From whatever little I browsed, it was quite a rich and heavy read, and would take time to complete.
