Bengaluru: Typically, history books have always greatly emphasised on the strategic location of the Indian landmass that has helped win battles, shape cultures and lure traders, but all from a territorial point of view. Somehow, the importance of an ocean that is named after the country goes largely ignored. Sanjeev Sanyal’s latest read, Ocean of Churn, is an attempt to mow down this ignorance.
“Geography is not just about the physical terrain, but also about the meaning that we attribute to it. Thus, the Saraswati flows, invisibly, at Allahabad,” Sanyal said.
