It's pulling a vintage steam engine called the Wanderer, which will be exhibited in the Republic Day parade in Delhi. This train travelling across the length of India carries a cross-section of the Indian populace. One of its travellers, Karamchand (named so after Mahatma Gandhi), through the intersection of his observations along the journey, his memories, and the history of the places the train passes through creates a fantastic, parallel journey along the one he is already on. Landmarks in the history of India-the construction of railways in India by the British, the notorious Portuguese sailor Almeida's attacks on ports in Kerala, the 1857 mutiny, the Chauri Chaura incident, the Godhra riots find mention in the novel.
