Replete with exotic spectacles of nature, love stories, folk
tales, folk songs, politics, and sociology, Moments in Time offers
a unique picture of a nation and its people in transition from
colonial rule to independence. In this memoir, author Amit Sarkar
provides insight into twentieth-century India and its towns,
cities, and remote villages.
Sarkar offers narratives of the minutiae of a child marriage and
village life, along with the impact of World War II on India, its
aftermath, and the sociopolitical developments that divulge the
true story of independence and partition of the subcontinent into
two nation-states. He recalls his adolescent love, his journey to
Calcutta, and his love affair with a classmate that was predestined
to be a tragedy. He describes his pioneering experience in building
the infrastructure of the nascent government in the
terrorist-ridden, hilly terrain of Mizoram and the broad-daylight
assassination of the inspector general of police, his deputy, and a
superintendent of police.
Sharing snippets of student life and personal events, Moments in
Time provides a firsthand account of India before, during, and
after British rule. Sarkar presents a rich look into Indian
life--its music, love, faith, beliefs, betrayal, and glory.
