    0

    Fourteen-year-old Laxmi loses both her railroad-worker parents in a bomb attack as the Second World War roils Burma. Fuelled as much by the need to avenge their deaths as to fight for her distant homeland, India, she joins the Rani of Jhansi Regiment of the vengeance and a one-point agenda. She braves rejection and earns her place as the youngest soldier in the Rani Laxmi Bai Regiment of the Indian National Army.

    Under the guidance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose himself, Laxmi transforms from a determined girl into a formidable spy, mastering the art of espionage and survival. With her small frame and sharp wit, she navigates treacherous landscapes, risking everything to gather vital intelligence against the British.

    From daring escapes to heart-pounding encounters, Laxmi’s missions are fraught with danger and uncertainty. Yet, amidst the chaos of war, she discovers her own resilience and courage, fighting for her country and for her own sense of justice.

    From the author of The Nameless God, this is a tale of bravery and sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of youth in the face of adversity. A must read story of a forgotten hero.

    God hadn’t done right by them. Noor had concentrated hard at Fakir Baba’s dargah, Bachchu had prayed desperately at the Ganesh temple. But God favoured the toppers. Again. Maybe He was drowning in prayers from too many kids.

    Noor and Bachchu come up with a brilliant plan—they would create a God who knows only them, and no other children, and so has no option but to grant their wishes. 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?

    In a world polarised along religious lines, The Nameless God offers a vision of another way of being. This powerful and moving story of friendship and understanding brings home the pointlessness of the invisible boundaries created by different faiths.
