Divya Dutta launches 'I for India'

Film and Television personality Divya Dutta launched the book 'I for India', written by upcoming writer Karan Khanna, at a bookstore at Churchgate in South Mumbai last night.

'I for India', claimed to be the first work of 'disaster fiction' in India, is a story about a young man, who goes through a life changing experience, when he finds himself in the middle of the November 2008 Mumbai terror attack.

''The protagonist in the book aims to change the face of the country, stir up the youth to be a part of the system and fight the system and change it the way they want it to be'', said Karan.

''Deep down each one of us wants a better future and a better place to live in, the book shares these very dreams of the people and promises to see India as a developed country'', he said.

The actress spoke about the book and praised the young writer.

''From whatever I have heard about the book, it seems to be a very good story for a hindi film and considering the fact that it is aimed at the youth, I am sure it will be a good read as well'', she said.
