Publisher's Summary

The Lost Victory perfectly captures the cultural essence of 1942 and the urgency of this colorful and moving pageant of a nation about to throw off the yoke of foreign rule. Essentially, it is the story of Buta Singh, a shrewd and wily official working with the British, and of Sher Singh, his vain and ambitious son driven to rebellion against the foreign master. It is also the story of the women of the family - Champak, Sher’s beautiful wife, her wild passions bursting the bonds of century-old prohibitions, and Sabhrai, Sher’s mother, whose matriarchal strength sustains the family in its time of crisis. What happens to this family when a brutal and senseless murder sets father against son, wife against husband, is told against the background of an India torn by religious tension and fraternal strife.

Great story telling, leaves questions unanswered

absolutely unparalleled style or story telling our Khushwant Singh, the book keeps you glued till the end. or depicts perfectly the mentality of people in different frames of life and digs through their thought process. it also peeps into how administration works and how civilians are at mercy of governments will.

the end leaves some questions unansweres though, for the imagination of the reader...
