Book Review: Kanhaiya Kumar's autobiography "Pee Pee ke Piss daala"

How does a Rs 3000 penalty on exercising right to pee anywhere and adequately punishing a girl who teaches the lessons of clean India movement can turn into a real red revolution is the story of new book released by Kanhaiya Kumar. "Pee Pee ke Piss daala" is an autobiography of Jawaharlal Nehru University student and President of JNUSU, Kanhaiya Kumar who also initiated a new revolution in the country with demand for basic rights. This book is a real revenge saga of Kanhaiya who represents people who likes to pee or spit anywhere they want.

The book starts with first chapter "Maza aata hai". The chapter gives an insight of Kanhaiya's childhood, his friends and their liberal life of hovering anywhere on the earth. "I loved the way we use to clean the earth by our pee and spit," said Kanhaiya Kumar "Seeds of becoming liberal red had sown in my childhood only."


However, his life took a new turn with the second chapter "Ye bedard aur badnam duniya". After his childhood, Kanhaiya realised that the childhood dreams and its liberty never matches in young life. "You never get chances of right to pee on wall, create design or at least clean your mother earth," said Kanhaiya "Ye bedard dunia only stops you from doing such thing." This chapter is a real grim story of Kanhaiya's life. When I read this chapter I was just waiting when it would be finished, such a sadness in it. At one point in the book Kanhaiya said "I never thought that for days I would not pee at all. There are toilets here, there are toilets there but no open place and when I saw an open place and just wanted to design it by using the creativity of my tool, some girl came to me and asked to stop. The hell my destiny wanted to revenge me. I simply asked her let me do that when JNU boss asked me to pay Rs 3000," said Kanhaiya. This chapter makes you cry for hours.

Finally things start turning around and the third chapter starts "Uth khada hua". Emotional and disturbed Kanhaiya started searching for the goal of life when a great philosopher asked him to protest for right to pee. "As it is you are doing something nonsense called Phd on African lifestyle. Why don't you bring that lifestyle to India? Fight for that culture where nobody would slap you a penalty for releasing one of your body thing in outside. This government is insane, even I had to stop spitting my gutkha on the street because of its demonous policy called 'Clean India Movement'," tells the philosopher to Kanhaiya at one part of the story where Kanhaiya's biceps start turning up his hands start shievering and whole body dances on the tune of new goal. This chapter turns out to be a real motivationa story for the readers. I read it at least 40 times in just a span of day.

In a fourth chapter "Kutte ke liye khamba, hamare liye kya" shows how the revenge starts and ends. This chapter has become somebit of boring thing as besides interesting goal of right to pee, revenge stories about other nusances like Afzal Guru and Kashmir liberals move your focus to out-of-the-context things. The story shows the trajectory how Kanhaiya from a disturbed student becomes revolutionary one with getting blessings from the likes of Barkha Dutt and Rajdeep Sardesai. Finally after one girl disclosing how the entire revenge saga was built up on the incident when she stopped Kanhaiya from peeing, the deprived section who wants freedom of peeing anywhere in the world gets their voice heard in India.

Review: The book is great one to read on your spare time. But you have to keep hankies with you to wipe out tears. The way government's draconian policy like Clean India suppresses a section of people was very well discussed by Kanhaiya. In the last chapter, although he move out of the context to touch few third grade people such as Kashmir freedom fighters and Afzal Guru makes you a little bit boring but finally when the real issue props up you get satisfaction to read on some different problem and finally you say like chapter one "Mazaa aata hai."
