Burning. Majumdar M.

The exciting debut novel about three heroes living in modern India, who pursue different goals: to rise to the middle class, join political power, achieve glory to the cinema - and find that their lives directly depend on the recent incident.

Jivan, a Muslim schoolgirl from slums, due to careless comment on the social network is accused of committing a train attack. A physicter from her school may act as a witness at the trial and save the girl from death, but he faces a difficult choice: his own career in the political field or the justification of the innocent. Hijra Lavali, a representative of a caste of untouchables, studied the English language with Jivan, and she has an alibi for her, which will put an end to this matter. But then the climbing should put on the end everything that I managed to achieve.
