જગ્ગાડાકુનાં વેરના વળામણાં ભાગ-1,2,3" 
(by Harkisan Maheta)

* My Views on this novel as reader...
      At the end of novel we came to know that this is the life story of Jagatsinh urf '' Jagga Daku ''. It seems Imaginary story because there is many incident looks like miracle. Novel starts with the 'Revenge'. Seeds of Revenge graws up in Jagatsinh's mind and it turned into him as ' Daku ' (bandit)...
- Murder
- Marriage
- Family
- Police, fight for justice
- Friendship
- Own rules
- Love
- Prison life
- Partition of India
- Corrupt society
- Kindness
- Back to Nature
- Art changes the life
- Back to life with Dignity
- Life as prisoner
- Triumph of Truth
     This all are the theme of book we can say that it is not a single or story of one man but the whole novel included many stories. Each character in the novel have their own struggle for safety, for peace, for 'સુખ' and as our writer says ' સુખ એક ભ્રમ છે. હાથ તાળી આપી ને છટકી જાય છે.
     Revenge is the centre theme of Novel Jagatsinh and his family have conflict with their neighbor from the decades.... But twist is that when Jagatsinh come back in his village from his ' Nana's home ' for taking revenge with Mohansinh and his three brothers, he falls in love with ' Viro ' wife of Mohansinh and that's how story goes on. Jagatsinh starts ' Baharvatu or Dakugiri ' without thinking anything.
     The seeds of poison are sprouted in Jagatsinh's mind, which was sawn by his Nana Narayansihn. By hook or crook he goes with this bitterness in his mind. Every time anyhow he do in eye of police. But, he have their own rules and regulation which he never abonded.
     Honshiyar, Bachchan, Hanuman, Kripal four are best friend of Jagatsinh with the help of he starts his journey as Daku and till the end all of trusted to each other and at the closing part of Novel Kartara done all the good for Jagatsinh. Thus, this all are the character through them we came to know about their friendship.
     Suchhasinh Jakhmi, Hansraj, chhanna, Hajarasinh, Gurubaksh, Mahindersihn, all are the very loyal towards Jagatsinh. In different are instances they all played their role truly amazing. When we think our self in their place, a great fear or selfishness rise in our mind . The courage of to do something for someone is we can see in this all characters.
     If we move towards all the major female characters....there is
-- Chandan Kaur (wife of Jagatsinh)
-- Maya Kaur ( Mother of Jagatsinh)
-- Veero ( Lover of Jagatsinh and Wife of Mohansinh)
-- Achala ( lover of Bachhan)
-- Guruballi ( Shishya of Jagatsinh)
-- Savan Kaur ( Cousin Sister of Chandan)
-- Saniya ( Gurubaksh's lover)
   This all are the female character except the character of Savan Kaur all the female character seems very kind and generous.
      At the last in character list I wanna discuss 3 characters which is I liked too much while reading Novel. Even after reading it put deep impact on readers mind.
--> Father of Jagatsinh- Sohan sinh
--> Christian Doctor
--> Madan Mohan Mehta
      Sohansinh is real father of Jagatsinh, I found through out the Novel that the only man who struggle a lot more than anyone even at last he didn't find a single drop of happiness.
      Second one is Christian Doctor, life saver of Jagatsinh. Who saw the hope in all the family member of Jagatsinh and even on readers too, that Jagatsinh will come back on the path of good life.
      And the third and last one is Madan Mehta real life gives of Jagatsinh who turned him into Jagatsinh from Jagga Daku. A very kind and honest man who just heard a few line of song from Jagatsinh's voice and at the end he made him as singer or artist.
      Thus, this is the story of ups and down when we think that સુખ આવ્યુ... આવ્યુ પણ એ દુર ને દુર જતુ હોય. When someone to fell short of at that time they need someone like Madan Mohan Mehta and then tug of war starts in one's mind and finally up to the mark of hope. Triumph of Truth.
      All in all it seem that miracle happened in Novel because Daku like Jagga will never can come out from prison and the description of pain which is given to Jagatsinh in prison is unbearable. But at the end of the 3rd part when I read conclusion I got big surprise that this is not imaginary story, It is a real life story of Jagatsinh story of Revenge but journey of his life turned him into Artist. How unbelievable journey of real life. Thank you to Harkishan Maheta for this amazing suspense, thriller and true story.

* My critique on Novel..
      Normally we have stories of ''Heros '' who fight against evil but here writer made different, Harkishan Maheta write story of 'Daku' and made him real hero. Jagga didn't fight against evil but he fight against his own Ideals. Thus, here writer breaks the formal structure of Novel and deconstruct the rigid. Ideology of orthodox mind that evil can not change, but through this true writer makes it possible.
