Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
India, 1992. The country is ablaze with riots. In Lucknow, ten-year-old Shubhankar witnesses a terrible act of mob violence in which his family are complicit: an act that will alter the course of his life.
In the two decades that follow, Shabby must wrestle with the ghosts of his past, the expectations of his family, and the seismic shifts taking place around him as the country enters the new millennium. As an adult in Mumbai, he encounters Syed and Shruti, who, like him, are seeking the freedom to rewrite their stories while navigating the contradictions of modern India. As the rising tide of nationalism sweeps across the country, their friendship becomes a rock they all cling to.
Until one day, Shabby makes a split-second decision that will change everything...
Dazzling and deeply moving, One Small Voice is a novel of modern India: of violence and prejudice, friendship and loyalty, community and tradition, and of a young man coming of age in a country on fire.
Critic Reviews
"A joy to read, a full universe of feeling, an effortless page-turner by a born storyteller. One Small Voice is the great contemporary middle class Indian novel, showing us ordinary people knocked about by the specific sociopolitical currents of turn-of-the-century India, but also wrestling with universal challenges of family, ambition, friendship and shame." (Max Porter, author of The Death of Francis Bacon)

Innocent’s Innocence!
A beautiful articulation of entangled manmade complexities uprooted from damaged beliefs and perceptions. Every character was well stitched to portrait the dilemmas dealt by non-conformists due to baseless conditioning of exclusion to empower self proclaimed society guardians. Humanity gets brutally manhandled at every junction of this artificial world.
Marginalised getting marginalised and larger individuals become pray to self fulfilling agenda of few.
Thought, I keep wondering if I may have inserted the words like ‘emotional, innocent, humble, pained….’ As words before ‘Small’, however realised that the author blended it all by not putting a specific emotion here.
Everyone will be able to relate to some elements of the story and more likely that a reset will connect personally with more than one character and/or elements of the journey.
SUPERB narration makes it a soulful experience!
Hopefully the world will awake to the calling of Equity and ‘Freedom from exclusion’!!!!!!!!!!
