About
A Heaven for Trishanku (AHFT) is an original graphic novel which tells the story of Anwesh Bannerjee, a student activist who along with his "comrades" tried to blow up a bridge to protest against the "Bourgeoisie"-controlled government and ended up accidentally killing an Indian Railways worker who was on duty. Haunted by this guilt, Anwesh surrendered and the court sentenced him to Life imprisonment. Now after more than four decades he is set free and sets about finding the last surviving kin of his victim to apologize. The story is set against the backdrop of Modern India well on its way to becoming America Light and is represented in the story by Anwesh's nephew Manu, a 16 year old living in an ideological void populated only by the materialistic swarm of cell phones and iPod's. This is the story of Anwesh's quest for redemption. This is the story of Manu's unwitting search for an ideological anchor. This too is the story of an unusual friendship between a sixty year old and a sixteen year old, both adrift in the churning ocean that is India today, itself searching for an identity. Credits
