Description
A Game of Fire by Nānaka Siṅgha and Navdeep Suri is set against the backdrop of one of India's most tumultuous periods: the aftermath of Partition in 1947. Against the turmoil, a young volunteer named Satnam Singh witnesses the extraordinary calm of an erudite-looking old man with a long flowing beard, accompanied by a resolute young woman whose eyes seem haunted by the tragedies they have witnessed. As Satnam observes the rising tide of communal violence threatening his city, he is confronted with the devastating consequences of his own community's actions. The lines between loyalty and betrayal are blurred, and the very fabric of the city seems to be torn apart. This powerful story explores the complexities of identity, faith, and belonging in the face of unimaginable violence and upheaval.
