Jaggu, A Child Who Builds And Destroys Homes, Has No Idea That His Own Home Is Crumbling Before His Eyes. Jaggu Is The Protagonist Of This Novel, Who, Through The Ravages Of Time, Becomes Jaynath. He Witnesses The Many Changes In Life, As Well As The Changing Environment Of Societythe Dream Of A Free India, The Oppressive Misrule Of The British, And Communal Riots. Gharaunda, A Symbol Of JagguS Infancy, Deeply Stirs The Childlike Curiosity And Inquisitiveness Of A MotherS Helplessness. So Is This A Historical Novel? No. In A Historical Novel, Only The Events And Character Names Are True; Everything Else Is Fictional. In This One, ItS Truth Laced With Imagination, And In This One, ItS Imagination Laced With Truth. So, This Book Is Both History And Novel.
