It is the saga of riots that had spread much before the partition of India. There were murders, rapes, abductions, looting, and arson, and the government machinery miserably failed to control it. The law and order had gone haywire. The novel is mainly the story of three young boys who had lost their entire family during the riots. One of them though, academically brilliant and career wise, reached a coveted position but could not adjust with the unfamiliar ambiance and was a social misfit and a failure in life. The other two, through their sheer grit, made a mark in their life and bravely faced all the odds and obstacles in an alien milieu. The novel is full of pathos, events, drama, romance, and typical Punjabi sense of humor. The book advocates against religious bigotry without being didactic, because of which mankind is suffering till date. It is a great subject for a movie.
