1981, Cochin, Kerala.
The city is in chaos as student revolutionaries form a human barricade on the streets, bringing the home minister’s convoy to a standstill outside a hospital, unleashing a brutal attack by the police. Standing steadfast with the students is a retired navy commander and his wife.
Inside the hospital in the ICU ward their beloved leader—an ageing freedom fighter—turned-celebrated writer and guiding light of the burgeoning socialist movement of Kerala—lies at death’s door, the victim of a brazen assassination attempt orchestrated by a corrupt political cabal.
With widespread protests engulfing the state, a group of youth leaders rally to challenge the oppressive regime. At the heart of this uprising are two young men and a mysterious girl in a scarlet hijab, whose quite courage and tactical genius make her indispensable to the revolution.
As tensions rise and the ruling Left Front government is on the being of collapse, long held secrets begin to surface, threatening to upend the lives of everyone involved.
In Girl in Scarlet Hijab, Suresh U. Kumar crafts a riveting tale of heroism, love, sacrifice, and the constant battle for justice, where every choice could alter the course of history.
"As the drama unfolds, be ready to embark on an epic journey that transports the reader between time and events. It is easy to fall in love with the characters and feel moved by the fate that befalls them. A brilliant story!"
