Description

Krantikaal is a contemporary fiction dealing with the most discussed topic of our time. Inside the place of a former princely state of India, time seems to have stood still. Confined in a quiet and once grand home, a one-time Maharaja and his now elderly son exist along with the daughter-in-law, a commoner and now divorced.

Into this stagnant atmosphere erupts the challenge of terror, as a ‘secessionist’ from North-Eastern part of India and a fugitive from the police intrudes into the palace in urgent need of refuge. He carries a frightening array of arms as well as an ideology that justifies violence as a means to a political end. But he also carries with him many unresolved questions which, in his critical encounter with the former royals, are brought into focus, and a reassessment of India’s secular-pluralist democracy is suggested. It is the princess-by-marriage, a woman with an exceptional intellect and immense moral strength, who evokes the essential qualities of Indian tradition that make India’s amazing pluralism viable: non-violence, tolerance, sacrifice and generosity. The lady’s convictions are remarkably persuasive, and a breath of self-criticism gets through a chink in the terrorist’s armour, But before he can resolve his new doubts, the last word is spoken by the instrumentalities of legal violence…
