“This beautifully rendered novel will be a appreciated not just by those
familiar with India or Indian history but by anyone interested in literature,
and looking for a good book to read.”
— Swati Mitra, Executive Publisher, Eicher Goodearth
The Red Munia is a perfect example of the intersection between personal life,
heritage, and political events. Far more than a history of the country, it
follows Laila's task of restoring dignity to both herself and a nation. Her
process and courage in pursuing her life goes far beyond historical events to
probe deeply into the lives of the people during British occupation, offering
a spirited and hopeful read that will engross a wide audience.
— Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review
Laila spends an enviable childhood in Kapurthala, Punjab, where she lives
with her parents, grandmother and her younger sister Dia, in a luxurious
Haveli. Horse riding, royal-style picnics, house parties along with games
like Scrabble, Hide and Seek and climbing trees are a way of life. Frequent
discussions at home make her politically aware at an early age. Extremely
sensitive as she is, her adolescent shoulders want to share her father’s burden
who is very disturbed about the anarchic state of affairs in India just prior
to the exit of the British. Her life takes many dramatic twists before it settles
down for Laila to plan what she wants to do for her country, India.
She is eighteen when she goes to Bombay to pursue a course in journalism
and to hone her writing skills. It is in Bombay that she turns her childhood
dream into a real mission; to meet with the Queen of England! The sole
purpose of this visit is to extract an apology out of the British to restore the
dignity of her country which has been torn to shreds during the two
hundred year long period of being held captive by them.
But in London, during her pursuit of an apology for India from the British,
she meets Jai who is like no one she has met before. She is unable to ward
off the strong attraction she feels towards him…
