decrepit old mansion named Cho Oyu, his
existence is marked by isolation and intolerance
towards the world around him. His life takes an
unexpected turn with the arrival of his orphaned
granddaughter, Sai, who moves to Kalimpong
after the tragic death of her parents. Sai's journey
to Kalimpong signifies a quest for roots and
identity amidst the chaos surrounding her.

Sai's relationship with the judge is complex,


oscillating between muted affection and palpable
tension. As she grapples with the void left by her
parents and attempts to understand her place in
the world, Sai becomes increasingly aware of the
stark contrasts between her contemporary desires
and the judge's antiquated values. Her sense of
displacement is further highlighted by her
evolving relationship with her Nepali
mathematics tutor, Gyan. Their bond, delicate
and filled with youthful passion, soon becomes
strained under the weight of political unrest.
Gyan's eventual involvement with the GNLF
introduces her to the harsh realities of ethnic and

political divisions, further complicating her
search for belonging.

In parallel, the narrative delves into Biju's


struggles as an undocumented immigrant in the
United States. The son of the judge's cook, Biju's
journey unfolds in stark contrast to Sai's
experiences. His life in America is a relentless
battle against exploitation and invisibility. Biju
hops from one menial job to another, each a
testament to the relentless pursuit of the elusive
American dream. The dichotomy between the
idealized vision of America and the brutal
realities faced by immigrants paints a poignant
picture of the immigrant experience, underlining
the universal quest for a better life and the sense
of loss that accompanies it.

colonialism. Sai’s arrival disrupts his solitary life,
forcing a reluctant relationship between them.
Sai, in her youthful innocence and curiosity,
yearns for connection and understanding. Her
interactions with the judge, however, are
strained; his cold demeanor and rigid ways create
a palpable distance. Despite this, Sai attempts to
navigate their relationship and seeks to
understand her grandfather’s complex character.

Sa’s life in Kalimpong revolves around the


pursuit of an education, and it is in this pursuit
that she meets Gyan, a young, idealistic tutor
hired to teach her mathematics and science. Sai’s
relationship with Gyan offers her a glimpse of
normalcy and companionship, which she has
longed for since her parents' death. They spend
time together, sharing thoughts and aspirations,
and their interactions soon blossom into a tender
romance.

Her evolving relationship with Gyan, her tutor,


and the impact of political unrest.

As Sai and Gyan grow closer, their lives become
entangled with the unfolding political unrest in
Kalimpong. The region is gripped by the
Gorkhaland movement, an uprising led by the
ethnic Nepalese community demanding an
independent state. Gyan, influenced by the fervor
of youth and the ideological wave, becomes
increasingly involved with the Gorkha National
Liberation Front (GNLF). His newfound political
fervor begins to strain his relationship with Sai,
introducing tensions rooted in their differing
backgrounds and involvements.

Sai, raised with the remnants of her


grandfather’s British-influenced ways, finds
herself at odds with Gyan’s emerging radicalism.
Their once innocent love story becomes a
microcosm of the larger cultural and political
conflicts engulfing the region. Sai struggles to
reconcile her feelings for Gyan with the political
realities and escalating violence around them. As
Gyan is drawn deeper into the movement, he

starts to resents Sai's perceived privilege and
detachment, leading to conflicts and
misunderstandings that further alienate them
from each other.

The political turmoil not only impacts Sai’s


personal relationships but also shapes her quest
for identity and belonging. She faces the stark
realization that her search for roots is
complicated by the socio-political instability
around her. The insurrection brings to the
forefront issues of loyalty, betrayal, and the clash
between personal desires and communal
responsibilities. As Sai navigates these challenges,
she is forced to confront the realities of the world
she lives in and her place within it, a journey that
is as much about discovering her heritage as it is
about finding her voice amidst the chaos.
