K. Mathur

I've always enjoyed my city except when violence has erupted between communities

- K.Mathur

Born and brought up in Mumbai, K. Mathur, writes at the heart of one of India's most press-ing problems--violence between communities.

Showcasing her unique perspective into her city's psyche she says, ―On the whole people seem to get along fine. We are proud of our own community but accept that others are naturally proud of theirs. But there's a handful in every community who are suspicious of those differences. Why is secularism or a different way of doing things such a threat to these people? Ever since I witnessed communal (or racial) riots in Mumbai as a young girl, I've wanted to know and felt compelled to talk about this disturbing issue in "Never Mind Yaar."

But first and foremost the book is a love story. It is about the carefree and light hearted years of college and of friendship between three young girls from different backgrounds – Hindu, Parsi and Christian.”
