One wintry day, in the year China invades India, a little before Prime Minister Nehru dies of a broken heart, a probably unholy cow comes calling on the two brothers who are the protagonists of this book. Thirty years later, after the destruction of a mosque and the departure of Nehru's spirit from their country, the two brothers embark on a passage through India to see the Taj Mahal, only to have their journey interrupted by another cow. With its wild mix of social realism and mental anarchism, this work of fiction depicts an unusual modern India, even as it shows that countries are mostly a matter of the mind.
