The Colour of Dawn

by Janaki Murali

A rally between the past and the present,The Colour of Dawn is about suppressed love and fear. It is a walk through three generations of women and their lives in Kerala and across India - a time when Bombay was governed by the 8.17 and 9.13 local trains, blackouts and air raids. A time when the Pokhran blast focused world attention on the dawn of two nuclear countries.The book draws from the author's own experiences as the searing, sultry cauldron of cultures passes by her eyes, pre Mumbai, pre nuclear India.
