Though Victor adores\u003cbr\u003eand respects Gandhi, he disagrees with the Mahatma’s vision \u003cbr\u003efor the future of India. He returns from university in England \u003cbr\u003edetermined to bring the benefits of modern industry to the \u003cbr\u003esubcontinent, and within a few years of India’s independence, \u003cbr\u003ebecomes the country’s biggest tycoon. But this is not the only ideal of Gandhi’s that he defies: facing a midlife crisis, he falls passionately in love with a tantric god-woman (who keeps a \u003cbr\u003etiger as her pet and has a dubious past). She introduces him \u003cbr\u003eto the pleasures of unbridled sexuality, but also becomes the reason for his downfall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComic, tender and erotic by turns, Burial at Sea is vintage Khushwant Singh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49114458685744,"sku":"Prakash_9780143415145","price":200.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/penguin-book-default-title-burial-at-sea-38853887885616.jpg?v=1753014312","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/burial-at-sea","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
