About the Book

An experimental novel that blurs the boundaries between historical fiction, memoir and travelogue, The Wanderers is the story of Murlidhar Khedekar, a failed actor-turnedpolice officer whose life plays out against the birth of a new nation. Set against the background of colonial rule and the formative years of the Indian police, it traces the story of this aspiring actor whose failure to land a role in the burgeoning Marathi theatre scene of the early 1900s leads to his ultimate employment in the Bombay City Police. As a parallel narrative,his great-granddaughter, traces her own kindred — if aimless —journey through present-day Goa and the Konkan.Alternating between the past and the present and juxtaposing migration with travel, The Wanderers throws up questions of divided loyalty, of belonging and ownership, of borders between humans and countries, the colonizer and the colonized.
