Wonder how many people in India knew about this book, more so, read it!! It was a best seller in 2003 and pretty racy.... mixing religious facts with intelligent speculations......... They even started a Da Vinci tours in Paris.and Rome, as the book was set among the magnificent palaces and churches of yesteryears in these cities............ Now every one knows about it, the sales of the book have soared......with heated debates all over the media and the protests over the movie,( and the proposed move to ban it) which is being released tomorrow in India.........( friday 19th) So whats it all about.............. Dan Brown the author among other things about christianity says ..jesus married mary magadelene and even had a kid.............. Well it has set the church on fire............. I bet our Indian sensibilities are wondering what this fuss is all about when our Gods & Godessess are all married !!! Well........... if not for anything the book is a good read......and his other books like Angels & Demons are also hits...... ....... and yes...Da Vinci is actually leonardo da Vinci,who was a designer par excellence and set a rat amongst his works in code........... raj
