The heinous gang-rape of Nirbhaya has jolted the Indian nation
out of its apathy. But rape and violence against women are only symptomatic of
a deeper malaise that ails the nation: the total collapse of governance under
the weak and vacillating PM, Devender Singh. Ironically, aiding the PM and his
Indian Democratic Party (IDP)s cling to power is a casual and largely
indifferent Opposition led by the venal Ravi Nehra. A ray of hope finally
emerges when ex-journalist and RTI activist Daivik Verma and the gorgeous
Catherine Khan, a leading Bollywood film-star with a mysterious lineage, decide
to challenge the existing system by floating a new political party. But lack of
funds and cadre support thwarts their efforts, their only recourse being Shruti
Ranjan, who had sworn off politics three years ago. Will Nirbhayas gruesome
rape and her subsequent death bring a disillusioned Shruti Ranjan back into the
political fray, dominated by crime lords and bankrolled by industrial barons?
Will the trio manage to stage a coup and dethrone Indias worst regime? Will the
land of great leaders like Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka and Akbar, finally get a
dynamic Prime Minister she so badly needs? A racy political thriller, The Edge
of Power is a powerful inquiry into the underbelly of Indian politics. It
raises important questions over the funding of Indian political parties, while
presenting Shruti Ranjan, the immensely popular protagonist of The Edge of
Desire, in a refreshingly new, resurgent avatar.About the Author
