Synopsis "The Muddy River"
The Muddy River tells and re-tells the story of Ramesh Chandran, a bureaucrat caught u p in the machinations of Assamese politics and public sector corruption during his quest to rescue a hapless engineer kidnapped by militants. As Chandran bumbles along, he encounter s the engineer's wife, who is a pocket- sized battle-axe; a cynical police officer; a venerable Gandhian and Anupama, another engineer torn between professional integrity and her love for Assam. While the rescue drama reaches its climax, Chandran also exposes a massive financial scandal in his company and pays the price for ignoring warnings that he might push too far for an unashamedly corrupt society's comfort. An aspiring writer, Chandran weaves the events of this time into a novel, while attempting to come to terms with his own marriage in the aftermath of the death of their only child. But how much does Chandran understand other people's truths and motivations? And how much does his wife, Sukanya, know about the events of the novel? Multi-layered and complex, The Muddy River blurs the boundaries between the story and story teller, victims and victimisers, keeping the reader guessing till the very end.
