Description

BOOK TWO OF THE RAJ QUARTET India, August 9th 1942.

The morning brings raids and the arrest by British police of Congress Party members.

Amongst the prisoners is the distinguished ex-Chief Minister Mohammed Ali Kasim.

Loyal to the party's central vision of a unified free India, his incarceration is a symptom of the growing deterioration of Anglo-Indian relations. For the long-serving British family, the Laytons, the political and social ramifications are immediate, disturbing and tragic.

Some, like Ronald Merrick, believe that true intimacy between the races is impossible; others, such as Sarah Layton, struggle to come to terms with their Anglo-Indian past.

With growing confusion and bewilderment, the British are forced to confront the violent and often brutal years that lie ahead of them.
