This really worked. Not my usual genre but I liked it.

Thanks! I couldn't even name this genre... but my chatbot informs me that it's Historical Fiction with elements of a Fable 🤷‍♀️

Quite amazing! And wow!

But I feel scared for the future generations, who would feed only on this.

But perhaps each generation solves its problems in its own unique ways!

This particular story is a mix of antique books that future generations would be unlikely to read. Maybe this can pique their curiosity! 😄

Does India have a lot of forgotten literature? I'm aware of some colonial era writing Europeans would rather forget, but beyond that I have no idea.

Pique their curiosity, hopefully !

Much of the literature of that particular era is either in Sanskrit, Hindi, or other regional languages.

Fiery poems written for the freedom struggle or existentialist essays and novels written by renowned writers.

Unfortunately, nobody reads anymore!

Infants are handed a tablet instead of an Enid Blyton!

I'll look into it some day! Seeing how I don't speak any of those languages, this will require a lot of AI translation...

A scary thought: today's tablet wielding toddlers will rule the world when we're old 😬

Aren't tablet-wielding toddlers running the world today?

Some are not even tablet trained: pea sized brain and giant ego! 😎

Perhaps a curtain teaser for times to come!

Jhalak, seen before I die!😜
