About This Item

When India's Love Commandos rescue a young woman - who has been forbidden from marrying an untouchable - from a high-caste family, she looks set to live happily ever after with the man she truly loves. But just hours before the wedding, her boyfriend, Ram, is abducted. Has his would-be father-in-law made good on his promise and done away with him?
It falls to Vish Puri to find out. Unfortunately, he's not having a good month. He can't locate a haul of stolen jewellery. He's been pickpocketed. And the only person who can get his wallet back is his interfering Mummy-ji.
Things only get worse when he discovers that his arch-rival, Hari Kumar, is also trying to locate the abducted boy - as is a genetics research institute exploring illiterate villagers.
To find Ram first, Puri and his team must travel into the Badlands of rural India, where the local politics are shaped by millennia-old caste prejudices.
