   About the Book* - Scandal Point
1892, colonial India. The handsome young ruler of an Indian princely state angers the British rulers. His fault? He has fallen in love and eloped with the Viceroys daughter. Not an ordinary romance, the elopement of 1892 has far-reaching consequences. It results in a child who grows up unaware of his lineage but one day, like Oedipus, he discovers the truth and embarks on a journey seeking his roots. There are no records, no documents, no witnesses, no evidence. Only stray bits of information and semi-reliable clues with the help of which he pieces together the almost incredible tale of his mothers elopement and its tragic aftermath. Some of the characters and events of the novel are taken from official records; other details have come down by word of mouth. There are many similar stories in private circulation which were suppressed for political reasons by the British rulers or by Indians then in power. Scandal Point attempts to unravel one such story through its narrator-protagonist, the survivor of a tale buried in the musty cellars of history.
