Litlinks Review

Nishtha Shrivastava’s ‘Rakshabandhan’ explores the fragility of familial relationships, particularly the bond symbolized by Raksha Bandhan, through the poignant and unsettling story of Nisha. The narrative delves into the impact of marital discord on a child and examines the expectations society imposes on familial ties. The story begins with a strained family dynamic where Nisha, a young girl, faces neglect as her parents struggle with their relationship. Her emotional refuge is her bond with a cousin, which becomes central to the plot. However, as tensions rise, the novel unflinchingly portrays betrayal and the erosion of trust within what should be a sacred relationship. This culminates in an ending that is both tragic and thought-provoking, leaving readers to ponder the true meaning of family and the resilience of human spirit. Shrivastava’s prose is heartfelt, capturing the nuances of love, pain, and the consequences of unfulfilled expectations. The book is a blend of critique on social conventions and a personal story that resonates deeply with readers. Its raw depiction of emotional upheaval and the disillusionment with traditional family roles is both its strength and a challenge for those seeking a lighter read. Overall, ‘Rakshabandhan’ is a compelling read for those interested in exploring the darker complexities of relationships. While it might leave you with a heavy heart, its message about resilience and self-discovery is enduringly powerful.
