Description

A profound and poignant narrative, it takes us along to be a witness to the perpetual confrontation between individual conscience and religion with its metaphysical concepts against the backdrop of the changing realities of the mundane world.

In the charged atmosphere of the Mutiny (1857), an English Officer, Noble Sahib, and a Muslim gentleman, Ibn-ul-vaqt, are brought together under remarkable circumstances. Both of them are men of high principle and sharp intellect, on the common grounds of which they forge a lasting bond. Noble Sahib persuades Ibn-ul-Vaqt to remove the estrangement between the English and his community by adopting the English lifestyle and progressive way of life. The consequences that follow are not what they had envisioned.
