This political novel is also a deeply felt and universal human story. It is set in the backdrop of youthful idealism, bitter and deep-seated caste divisions, the yearning for justice, the struggle involved in building a political organization, and the slide into disintegration, cynicism, and despair. Yet it is also about changing hearts and minds, and personal tragedies that open the mind and free it from the prison created by traditions and belief.
