இரண்டாம் இடம் - Irandam Idam Paperback – 1 January 2021

This is a much celebrated novel by MT. In the epics, Lakshman and Bhima have always occupied the second place but have been of very great importance in executing the theme. In history of India, we have seen Sardar Vallabhai Patel and L.K. Advani patiently and with great resolve occupying this second slot and being of very great strength to the No.1. In the case of America, the lesser known Thomas Paine was No.2 to George Washington in the American Revolution. He had a great role to play in the French Revolution also. The No.2s go unnoticed and uncelebrated at times. The novel dives into the psychological turmoil of the character.
