The story of Tapti Gaina is intimately linked with the lives of two brothers, in a narrative that spans eighty years. Exploring caste, student politics, the freedom struggle and the Emergency, Brothers traces the history of the Gaina family, beginning with their village origins across the emerging metropolis of Ajmer and ending in Jaipur, the seat of provincial power.
