The Nameless God

Thus, they create their own nameless God. And you know what? The plan works! The very next day, God performs his first miracle—a day off from school.
Unaware that the Babri Masjid has been destroyed, sparking communal violence across the country, they go out to thank their God but the boys get caught in the riots. Can the nameless God save them?
