The Gandhian Adventures of Raj & Iqbal: A Novel

A quirky, "desi" satire about two silly Indian gentlemen on a quest for the truth...

ABOUT THE BOOK

Meet Raj Kumar Reddy and his best friend and brother in life, Iqbal Ali Mohammad Khan . . .

They are Gandhians--followers of Mahatma Gandhi, lovers of peace, and seekers of the truth. They live in that greatest city of Mumbai, and their lives are simple and calm. But things change when they decide to seek the truth about onion prices in India.

As their journey gets increasingly surreal, they meet an Indian freedom fighter presumed dead in 1945, learn the secret to wrinkle-free skin, and finally embark on a dangerously silly encounter with a Pakistani extremist group on the high seas off the coast of India.

Shamelessly trivializing everything from Indo-Pakistan relations and terrorism to food-shortages and foreign-policy, The Gandhian Adventures is a quirky, desi satire about friendship and patriotism in the Indian subcontinent.
