About the book
Bright, well liked and moving quickly up the ranks of officialdom, Madhav Tripathi is a success in every sense. But driving home one evening, a week before his thirtieth birthday, he is abducted by a group of mysterious assailants. Madhav escapes with his life, yet the murderous threat persists. Soon, everything and everyone close to him seems to be in mortal danger.As he fights both to defend himself and to strike back with the resources at his disposal, Madhav also struggles to comprehend the identity of his inexorable persecutors. As a liberal intellectual, has he become the target of an extremist right-wing group? Or is he somehow embroiled in a class uprising? Maybe it is all a jilted lover’s private vendetta?As much cryptic thriller and hallucinatory fantasy as it is a novel of ideas, The Persecution of Madhav Tripathi is a journey into one man’s mind and a masterful excavation of the spiritual crisis of our educated elite.
