An awesome book. Must read.

This powerful book was one I read in Jan'20,and it's stayed with me since.Partly drawn from lived experience,the book is about a petty thief who makes a deal with the cops-to spy on Naxalite political prisoners in a jail in exchange for lenient sentencing.In a Becket-like turn of events,the protagonist finds himself drawn to the young men and their cause.The book evocatively describes what it was like in Calcutta in the 70s

1. The brilliant tagged book
2. Unfortunately I can't!
3. Tamil, I would love to read Ponniyin Selvan, the epic historical series set during the Chola Empire in the original language
