Sinossi
Tanjore, 1942
There are few excitements in Thambi's quiet life. There is the new hotel, disapproved of by elders, which lures him with the aroma of sambar with onions. There are visits to the library to read the newspaper, and once in a while, a new movie at the Rajaram Electric Theatre. More disagreeably, there are fortnightly visits from his uncle to lay down the law.
When Gandhiji announces the Quit India movement, Tanjore is torn apart by protests. The train station-the lifeline of the town-is vandalized. Mysterious leaflets are circulated, containing news that newspapers do not publish. And inspired by the idea of a free India and his own dreams of being an engineer, Thambi must find the courage to do what he believes is right-even when it endangers all he holds dear.
The Songs of Freedom series explores the lives of children across India during the struggle for independence.

She is also a historian who has conducted post-doctoral research on gender in early medieval Indian history.

She would happily spend her time among her four loves were it not for her lovely-but-stern editors who occasionally compel her to write.
