Not even half a century ago America was segregated, when everything depended on the colour of one’s skin, whether it was black or white. Access to schools, restaurants, parks, buses or even water fountains was segregated. And born into this segregated world was Martin Luther King Jr. The son of a black preacher, King was taught from a young age that he was equal. He deserved the same rights and freedoms as anyone. He dreams of a nation where people are not judged by the colour of their skin but by their character. And he believed that dream could one day become a reality. Armed with only the nonviolent teachings of Gandhi and a staunch belief that all men and women were created equal, Martin Luther King Jr stepped to the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement. Through a series of peaceful protests and marches, King captured the attention of the world… and changed the lives of millions of Americans forever.

The Mahabharat is an abiding collection of stories about the ancient Pandav-Kaurav feud over the Kuru throne. Traditionally, the Pandavs are accepted as the good side but there is one story that drops an ungraceful shadow on that notion – and that is the story of Ekalavya. Ekalavya, whose skill with archery could have rescued the Kauravs from defeat. Ekalavya, who gave away his most important asset as guru dakshina so that the guru-shishya parampara is not let down. Ekalavya enters the Mahabharat years before Kurukshetra, when the Pandavs were still learning warfare under Dronacharya. The story begins simply – the tribal Prince seeks the tutelage of Guru Dronacharya, only to incite the jealously of Arjun – but ends terribly. Narad, the great Rishi, who despises lies but loves trouble, is determined to make this story of Ekalavya live on. And it is on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where the rectification of injustice was sought at all costs, that he chooses to retell the tale.

The unique identity is our human persona. It is how others perceive us. What constituents make our persona; does our persona change with time; what constituent of persona does not change; which constituents are there in all humans and which are unique to an individual? The facets of the human persona have a vast canvas and we shall be examining this canvas in the book. Different shades fill this canvas and the individuals appear to others due to varied shades in the persona of different people.
