Catching up with Bhaskar after a gap of ten years had been wonderful. But when Avinash is confronted with the dead body of Bhaskar the next morning, he is assailed with questions for which he can find no answers. Tara, Bhaskar’s wife, cut short her holiday and is asked to identify the disfigured corpse. She hysterically refuses to accept that it is her husband. Inspector Sood is confronted with an unidentified corpse. The Colonel surveys his kingdom and believes the worst of all the people in the colony. Megha and Kartik, the young artist couple, bring a breath of fresh air into this little holiday township. Megha’s accidental death and Kartik’s suicide confuse the whole issue. Does the Inspector find Bhaskar and identify the corpse? Is he able to play hide-and-seek with the murderer? Do Divakar, Bhaskar’s brother, and his wife, Grace, have anything to do with all this? Where does Smita, Bhaskar’s old flame, come in here?

Second, it argues that the Thomas Christian narratives provide a unique position to challenge prevalent estimations found in canonical and postcolonial critical discourse on the nation. Third, it considers how an account of a nonviolent struggle by Thomas Christians further complicates recei...
