Bhagwandas Khanna, a doctor in the British Indian Army, is abducted by the Waziris, a Frontier tribe, near the fluid North-Western border of British India. That is the beginning of an adventure that sees him being converted into a Muslim; being sold-off in Ghazini; slipping in Soviet Russia and experiencing first-hand the great Socialist experiment; becoming a staunch communist; and eventually being smuggled back into British India in order to propagate the communist ideology even as the second world war rages on…
Meanwhile, Raj, his wife, tries to commit suicide on hearing of his (alleged) death and when saved from doing so, joins the Congress in order to fight for the freedom of her country.
Will their paths ever cross again? And if so, in what circumstances?
Uneven – some parts are interesting, some most boring- the novel is good enough for a one-time read.

It does sound adventurous and I like the idea of the two stories of the wife and the husband. Too bad you did not find it that great.
