Description

A Sahitya Akademi award winner, this novel is set in the feudal setting of the rural western Uttar Pradesh, and straddles a period which has as its pivotal the attainment of political freedom.

The novel ends by placing a big question mark on the values resurrected by a new political class.

This novel is about the destiny, which changes but does not change. As in a game of chess, the destiny is pre-defined: only the pieces that undergo that destiny keep changing.
