Re: Indian Tiger caged in the Cupboard (e-book)
“It is indeed my great privilege that I have been asked to read the book critically ‘Indian Tiger caged in the Cupboard’ and write a review of the same- by its author Mr S P Singh. ‘It is a light romance-fiction’ was a one-line intro’ as told to me by Mr Singh, I expected just that- and nothing more.
But when I started reading the book, looking forward to a light-hearted, romantic fiction set in an imaginary back-drop -to my surprise it turned out to be a mature romantic fiction revolving around real-life locations- covering extra-minute details to an extent that gave an actual feel of the environs to the reader. The writer walks the back-drop environs thro’ his characters in such a manner that the reader is transported in those locales literally and mentally, unless one withdraws one’s eyes from the novel. And believe me it is difficult to withdraw once you get into it- you are hooked into it; from one tourist attraction to another and then another- the reader gets a real-feel of the place- from a nondescript but royal palaces in a remote UP village to the busy streets of London and back to sprawling, imposing forts of Rajasthan- not leaving behind the modern cities of Bangalore and tourist-hub Goa and all this in a seamless transition journey thro’ the romantic story-line woven around fictional characters drawn from two radically different cultures- East and West- mixing, mingling and melting into one- with equal ease and comfort- no conflicts, no contradictions, no bars;
See- I have forgotten that I am writing a review not the story- so please read the book and prove me wrong.”

The book is a saga of cross cultural emotional bonding where a lady from the West gets echarmed with a heir of royal family of India. Author has been contemporary in the sense the book portrays changing social norms of India. A simple white girl from west is accepted at ease as their daughter in law by a Royal family of India.
Books gives insight to royal remains of India. Reading about royal families, royal culture, royal practices of India is something like a stoke of fresh air .This is perhaps most exciting extracts from the book where the story revolves around Royal family of Mankapur. One gets to know Royal traditions,Royal life style,Royal mindset at unbelievable proximity.Detailing of Royal life can be a dream for any contemporary reader.
Book beautifully captures our rich cultural heritage as well.
It acquaintances us with some of the most exquisite and un explored destinations in India as the loving couple travels through all these places.
Reader finds unbelievable the vivid diversity of the tourism that extend from Forts and Castles of Rajasthan which are a mesmerising splendour of architecture to Amazing sea beaches and Churches of Goa. Worthwhile to mention here is the most interesting and exhaustive style used by the author while explaining historical facts which brings the time to standstill.
