About author(s): Devesh Verma was associated with television journalism for over twenty-two years before he quit to complete his novel.
Beginning at the peak of Nehruvian era and ending in the early seventies, The Politician is an enthralling, evocative view of provincial northern India-once the political heartland of the country-and the ebb and flow of the fortunes of its protagonists. . .
However, he soon realizes that without political or bureaucratic power, the idea of a respectable life in India is nothing but pretence, and when Gulab Singh rescues him from being insulted by a thug, Ram Mohan becomes persuaded of the efficacy of violence in certain situations .
Spurred on by his diehard optimism, he aims for things usually inaccessible to people of his extraction.
