Love and Loss
by Tripuresh Dhar Diwivedi
This book is an attempt to understand the complexities of love, human relations, modernity and change. The novel has two protagonists; the male protagonist - a nameless struggler, an unusual boatman, a graduate, a believer in all things religious; the female protagonist - a doctor, fresh out of medical college, born to an intellectual family with leftist leanings. She lights the fire of struggle amongst the suffering naviks. With her guidance, support and organizational abilities they are able to break the bondages, of feudalism, of state repression. The dance of democracy and the political processes in this country are fully illustrated in the story.
The two protagonists, aided by peculiar circumstances, organize the boatmen into a cohesive unit. The police inspector, who is all but destroyed in this struggle, ends up becoming their greatest enemy. Betrayed in love, the male protagonist walks the earth, with questions to ask and answers to seek. Like a vagabond, he is lost to the world till the author finds him, in failing health and on his death bed. It is left to the author to tell this tragic story after 40 years.
