Description
In the tumultuous landscape of 1970s India, a mother grapples with the brutal loss of her son, a political dissident whose body is identified only by the number 1084. As she revisits the memories of his life, she begins to uncover the depth of his revolutionary ideals and the sacrifices he made. This powerful novel delves into the profound grief of a mother forced to confront the political realities that claimed her child, exploring themes of loss, rebellion, and the enduring search for truth in the face of state-sanctioned violence. Mahasweta Devi's unflinching prose brings to life a mother's journey from personal sorrow to a deeper understanding of her son's fight for justice.
