Book Overview

"Simply brilliant," says Dr. Donald B. Gibson, English Department, Rutgers Univ. "What Gandharva raja has written is an outline of the history, the social psychology, and the anthropology of religion."

Can religious wars and genocide give way to tolerance and equality? Grounded in today's reality, university student Gora and his friends in India are bystanders as Kabir Humayan Jain, a professor of comparative religion in Delhi carries out his mission to end religious violence and close the religious divide.

As a young boy, Jain lost his Muslim parents in a religious riot. He is adopted by his father's Hindu friend and colleague, but his adoptive father falls victim to another riot and dies in a burning train. Jain vows to bestow meaning to his dead parents' lives.

During a trip to the Himalayas, Jain suffers a concussion and during recovery believes that the Prophet Muhammad is speaking to him, saying Jihad is outdated and irrelevant in modern times.
Jain encourages his students to consider and question religious beliefs. Women students argue for full equality.

Jain hires a helicopter to reveal the Prophet's message to a large crowd in Delhi. Will he succeed in his mission to end jihad? Can religious beliefs be changed? Will he survive or become another martyr? One man's courageous mission to close the philosophical divide that affects the world culminates in the skies over a Delhi mosque on the last day of Ramadan.

"Telling the story through the eyes of Gora, grounds its philosophy in the reality of present times. The novel is written in a simple, elegant style. There can be no doubt that its message is important." - Rea Keach, Author
