A fundamentalist? What makes communities that have lived together for years suddenly discover a hatred for each other?<\/p>\n<p>New Delhi, in the year 2000. Staff meetings, lesson modules, a half-hearted little affair with a colleague &#8212; this is the bland but comfortable life of Shiv Murthy, a history teacher in an open university.<\/p>\n<p>But disruption and change are on their way &#8212; an outspoken young woman with a broken knee comes into his life and turns it upside-down; then Hindu zealots attack his writings on Basava, the reformer-poet. With fundamentalism landing on his own doorstep, Shiv discovers that the ideas he has inherited &#8211; about history, nations and patriots &#8211; are shrinking day by day. And the time of siege is not exclusively Indian; prejudice speaks different languages but has the same destructive message: &#8216;Only trust those of your kind&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>With love, lust, and a perverted nationalism at his heels, Shiv is forced to confront the demands of his times and choose a direction for the future. But first, he must come to terms with his own incomplete past, his fears, and his obsession with a woman who will give him the strength he seeks.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes funny, often moving, this stark, contemporary narrative unfolds the story of ordinary lives besieged, of men and women struggling to make sense of hatred, ignorance, love and loyalty &#8211; in individuals, ideas and the nation.
