The protagonist Colonel K.T. George an officer of the British Raj injured in one of the key battles of World War II, in Burma, meets his future wife Janaki amidst his life-threatening battle wounds. Growing up as a motherless toddler with princely wealth, life never gives him a break.

Geopolitical events draw them into one of the treacherous battlefields of World War Two. British Raj Thillana the finale, tells the story of this couple whose paths in life have disparate beginnings. They experience upheavals due to geopolitical events of their time through the World wars, Indian independence struggles, and partition of India that lit the flames of occurred with communal riots, arson, and terrible loss of lives. They find themselves in this crucible of the birth of nations that broke India from bondages of the British Raj. Unfortunate events around them change the course of many lives. Their love for each other grows through the riots which partitioned India. Their married life starts on Indian Independence Day when they make their own tryst with destiny.

Just with the strength of their relationships, this couple rebuild their lives and they serve the less fortunate. They bring a bit of heaven into the life of those who suffer. Calcified societal norms, religious dogma, caste, xenophobia, and superstitious beliefs intervene and affect the lives of the protagonist George and his wife Janaki. Widow remarriage frowned upon and almost impossible during the British Raj years is one of the challenges they overcome. Relationships built in the battlefields this couple wins lives battles time and again. Of course, all religious dogma is not without meaning. This book also highlights some customs and religious symbols that have roots in greater meaning with life lessons. The narrative around the six-armed figure of Ganapathi, the Hindu God with the elephant head has greater symbolism and conveys life's principles in art form. Life's lessons when conveyed through art have a better retention among human minds. All art is not without meaning. This debutant novel narrates the life of George and Janaki through the years of World War and the finale of the British Raj. Thillana in the Bharatanatyam concert marks the end- finale and tells the story of the sunset on the empire, where the sun never set.

Download or read book The British Raj Novels written by P. A. Attar and published by PartridgeIndia. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about a brief resumé of the major critical responses received by Scott and proves the fact that he still needs a wider critical attention to have a deeper insight of his novels. At the moment, his Raj quartet is the only work that has received extensive critical attention. The generally accepted verdict that the Raj quartet is Scott's greatest achievement is confirmed by the fact that it has aroused considerable interest among critics since its publication. Its position of acknowledged greatness, therefore, certainly demands a reference to various critical responses to it. John Mellors, for instance, considers it important because by evoking the final episode in the "long and passionate affaire" between British and India, it contains something of all the issues Scott wants to raise: justice, responsibility, political expediency, law and order, sex and race, pride and prejudice, love and loyalty.
