Outraged English 2018

Setargely amidst the independent film community of Mumbai, Times of Ferment, Book 1 of The Outraged, reveals the conflicts that confront Indianiberals both the hypocritical and those that want to bring about social change in the wake of the right wing's ascent to power. The protagonists include brilliant film-maker and idealist Ahishor Frances, who's attacked because he exposes 'navy baba', a god-man, as a fraud; young actress Maithili Krishna, for whom modern civilization is corrupt and requires dismantling; and the happily unemployed Sasha, full of unusual purity and faith in god, who befriends Ahishor and Versova's 'strugglers', and falls inove with Maithili. What follows when some of these strugglers are galvanized into action by the attack on Ahishor? What drives them to it? What path will Maithili eventually take? Is Sasha's belief inove and god, vindicated? This is a vital story about urbane Indians, the tumults we are going through, and our as yet completely unrealized need for faith.
