<p><em>Poojamma</em> starts with Nina an American journalist receiving news of the death of Poojamma. As she travels to India she has many dreams of her relationships with Poojamma. The story begins to unfold. Poojamma is a social reformer of sorts who lives in a village among Dalits in Karnataka India. She brings unity among different castes. She becomes very popular among poor people. Her popularity sends jitters in the raw nerves of politicians who decide to fight Poojamma. Intermittent battle between her and political forces follow. Poojamma is assassinated in a dastardly bomb blast. Kala the prodigy of Poojamma narrates half the story to Nina. Nina takes it upon herself to make the government of India to order an official investigation into the murder. Finally when courts are ready to hand out a death sentence to the culprits Kala stands on the way against death sentence. The author&rsquo;s spicy writing style leaves only a thin line between fiction and true story. Indeed the novel is based on many true incidents with fictional flavor. The personality of Poojamma is a heady mix of fictional and real-life characters. A roller coaster of fictional intricacies awaits readers.</p>
