Those born into Englishspeaking privilege Uma, the Englandreturned graduate Madhavi, the academic, and journalist Dhruv Shantanu, the civil servant, and his wife Anasuya Deekay, the middleclass revolutionary Pamela Sen, the dedicated teacher Ikram Gilchrist, the famous author are slowly but surely yielding ground to the subaltern. In the roil and rustle of this change, a mysterious gang of thieves is stealing old and rare books from the houses of the wellheeled. Who are these people? Where are they taking these books? And who is the mysterious Jai Prakash? What is his secret? The Gin Drinkers is a tragicomedy of manners and a true mirror to the class and caste conflicts that define modern India.
