The story unfolds through the eyes of a young linguist connecting with 110-year-old Deeda, who recounts her passage on the same ship as her ancestor. Experience the ‘kala pani’ voyage, the dreamlike myth of Saranga, and the vibrant life of Trinidad Bhojpuri. ‘Jahajin’ is a powerful blend of history and fairy tale, exploring relocation and transformation across a century. A must-read for lovers of historical fiction and compelling narratives.
