Description

Dada Comrade is an extraordinary novel that explores the complexities of revolution and desire. Set against the backdrop of 1930s India, the story follows Harish, a young revolutionary who finds himself at odds with his own party and the societal norms that surround him. As Harish navigates this treacherous landscape, he forms a romantic relationship with Shailbala, a woman who challenges the patriarchal mindsets of those around her. Meanwhile, Dada, the ageing leader of Harish's revolutionary party, begins to question his own methods and motivations. This thought-provoking tale raises important questions about the means to achieve freedom and equality, as well as desire, marriage, and birth control. Translated seamlessly with a scholarly introduction by Simona Sawhney, Dada Comrade is a compelling read that will resonate with readers today.
