This book is an attempt to understand a number of things: the complexity called love, the complexity of human relations and the complexities of modernity and change. The novel has two protagonists, the male and the female. The male protagonist is a nameless struggler, an unusual boatman, a graduate, a believer in all things religious, and born out of an intercaste wedlock. The female protagonist is a doctor, fresh out of the medical college. Born in an intellectual family. Her father is a professor with leftist leanings, so is the lady protagonist. She is the one who lights the fire of struggle amongst the suffering naviks. With her guidance, support and organization 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 and worked out illustrating the processes that run through.
Together the two of them organize the boatmen into a cohesive unit, the peculiar circumstance help out. The police inspector who is all but destroyed in this struggle ends up becoming there greatest enemy. Love has over powered him, but he restrains himself, selflessly being with her. She on the other hand feels attracted towards him, and then, one day she seduces him in the boat, on the river Yamuna. He thinks this is love. Then finally, when the carnival is nearing its end and there are only a couple of days left to go, he asks for her hand in marriage. She baulks, the breakdown begins. Then there is a separation, even as circumstances conspire in a manner as to kill her, on the last day of her stay. Sad part is, he does not know of her fate. In betrayal he walks the earth, in search, with questions to ask and answers to seek. Like a vagabond he is, lost to the world till I the narrator, find him, in failing health and on death bed. It is left to me to tell this tragic story after 40 years.
