Following her father's death, Lakshmi returns to her village and discovers his extensive library and research notes on India's medieval history. This discovery prompts her to undertake her own rigorous research, through which she uncovers what she considers "uncomfortable truths" about the Islamic conquest of India—events she believes have been sanitized or suppressed in official academic narratives.
"Avarana" (meaning 'Concealment' or 'The Veil') is a historical novel that explores the concept of hidden history. The narrative follows the protagonist, Razia, a Muslim woman who adopts a Hindu alias (Lakshmi) to investigate the historical records regarding the destruction of Hindu temples during the Mughal era, specifically focusing on the construction of the Taj Mahal.
Aavarana: The Veil by S.L. Bhyrappa is a landmark 2007 Kannada novel that explores the "veils" of history, religious identity, and collective memory. It achieved record-breaking success, with 10 reprints within five months of its release.
After her father—a staunch Gandhian with whom she had severed ties—passes away, Lakshmi discovers his vast collection of books and research notes.
S L Bhyrappa (born 1934) is alive and actively managing his literary estate. Downloading a pirated PDF deprives a 90-year-old living legend of his royalties. His current publisher (Sahitya Bhandara, Bengaluru) sells authorized e-books.
