Pre-order Dr. Kalyan’s Upcoming Books

When Medicine Clashes with Law!Dr. Krishna, a conscientious and kind-hearted doctor, 

is arrested and put on trial for treating naxalites, a banned war group. Many police officers are killed in encounters with naxalites, and the police are looking for payback. They want Dr. Krishna to pay for treating naxalites, to pay for the massacre

 of their officers,  and to pay for their failure. They mount irrefutable evidence against Dr. Krishna, and the Public Prosecutor has never lost a case.

With the system stacked against him, can Dr. Krishna survive the legal onslaught? Does his ageing  lawyer have enough in him to defend a lost cause?

Set in Zala, the hot bed of naxal activity in India, The Oath narrates a gripping, entertaining and intellectually stimulating tale of the clash between Medicine and Law.
