Description

The Solitude of Emperors by David Davidar

Suffocating in the small-town world of his parents, Vijay is desperate to escape to the raw energy of Bombay. His chance arrives unexpectedly, when the family servant, Raju, is recruited by a Hindu fundamentalist organisation. As a result of an article he writes about it, Vijay gets a job with a small Bombay publication with an inspirational founder.

A year after his arrival in Bombay, Vijay is caught up in the violent riots that rip through the city. He is sent to a small tea town in the Nilgiri mountains to recover, but finds that unrest has touched this peaceful spot as well. As the discord surrounding the local shrine comes to a head Vijay tries to alert the community to the dangers, but his intervention has consequences he could never have foreseen . . .
