Praise for Sakhyam:

“A sensitive and heartwarming story about the human and animal bond. A book that entertains and yet compels you to reflect on your behaviour and how we could save the world if only we lived life mindfully and respectfully. A definite must-read!” — Maneka Gandhi

“Sakhyam beautifully captures the transformative power of human-animal bonds, inspiring readers to reconsider their relationship with the natural world. A great read for anyone passionate about creating positive change.” — Shaleen Shah, Executive Director, Karuna Foundation and Co-Founder, Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary

“Sakhyam is a much-needed book in today's time requiring humans to coexist with non-human species. We need to view them as sentient beings who are equal, not as a commodity to be owned. This requires a shift in the mindset and Sakhyam will undoubtedly contribute to this through skillful storytelling.” — Parag Agarwal, Co-founder, India Animal Fund
