520 |a Lahore, British India. 1943. Animated by idealistic dreams of an independent India, Chhote Nanu agrees to plant a bomb intended for the British superintendent of police. Some four years later, following a torturous imprisonment, Chhote flees the city as it descends into violence, caught between a vanishing past in the new nation of Pakistan and a profoundly uncertain future in India. Kanpur, India. 2002. Following the death of his grandfather, Barre Nanu, Karan Khati returns from New York to join his sister in their childhood home, which has been transformed by the embittered Chhote Nanu into a hostel for Hindu pilgrims. When their mother arrives from Delhi, Karan and Ila learn that their fathers were two different men-- one Hindu, one Muslim-- relationships with both of whom were doomed by familial bias and prejudice. -- adapted from jacket
