COVER NOTES

"A story of India: the recent India of Mrs Gandhi's Emergency when power became arbitary once more, when - as always in such times - the corrupt, the opportunist and the bully flourished.

A story also of an older India, of a generation who remember the British Raj and Partition, of the opportunities and the ties of family and caste and religion that stretch back and back.

But above all, and memorably, it is a story of people: of Rose, the Cockney memsahib, of Western-educated Sonali and traditionally brought-up Mona, of Ravi, Marxist turned placeman, and Kishori Lal, the old idealist who finds that once again a man can be imprisoned just for what he thinks."
