Senior Police Inspector Lahiri, with his pastiche dispassion and pretend cynicism, the dreaded United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) insurgent Hiren Bora, and his 12-year-old brother Okon each of them is a victim of circumstances not quite of their own making, portrayed with startling realism. The novel probes the psyche of a morally righteous village youth with strong ideals and big dreams, compassionately delineates his transformation into a militant, and explores the complexity of the relationship that exists between him and his adolescent younger brother all the while positioning them within their immediate cultural and physical landscapes.   aInsurgency  aAction and adventure fiction  cENGLISH  c545326d545326  00104070aACLbACLc4Bd2024-08-25g395.00l0o823.92 ARUp669315r2024-08-25 14:00:21w2024-08-25yENGLISH  00104070aACLbACLc4Bd2024-08-25g395.00l2o823.92 ARUp669316r2025-07-19 10:45:35s2025-06-24w2024-08-25yENGLISH
