Description
This novel is centered around the Naxalite movement that culminated in the formation of the leftist People's War Group. It brings the reader face to face with the kind of life the tribals lead; how they are denied the basic necessities of life and are used as 'workhorses' by those who are better off. It also exposes the so called 'friends of the people' - the Naxalites - who have as little regard for human life as the 'state prosecutors'. The narrative is highly readable and captivating.
