N2  - The book is a travelogue combined with social commentary set against the backdrop of the 2002 Gujarat communal riots. Journalist Harish Nambiar narrates a motorcycle journey across small towns and non-metro regions of India to explore the country’s social, cultural, and religious fault lines. Through encounters with ordinary people, folklore, oral histories, and political observations, the book examines identity, communal tension, modernization, migration, and the changing urban consciousness of India. It presents a layered portrait of India in transition after economic liberalization
