Call Of The Yeti

Nirmal Kumar has a Masters degree in Indian and Western philosophy. His short stories regularly appear in leading India magazines. He is the author of four short story collections, nine novels, five plays, two collections of poems and several books on history, culture and religion. His books on philosophy and psychology include Philosophy Of Being Human (1995), The Tao Of Psychology (1993) and Psychology Beyond Freud (1981). He has published twenty four works in Hindi and seven in English.

This is a powerful novel that tells the tale of the Tibetan people''s fight for freedom. The non-violent Tibetans rise up against the Chinese army which invaded their country in 1959, even if they lack sophisticated weapons and training. The triumph of the human spirit is portrayed through the adventures of Siva -- the hero of this novel, who dares to face every challenge life throws at him. Siva absolves his fellow men from the narrow ties of nation, ethnicity, and region and from private attachments. He devotes himself to the pursuit of the free human spirit. Siva hears the stern call of absolute freedom. The landscape he lives in which is icy cold and filled with rocks, crags and plateaus is a perfect setting for his adventures.
