From Subhash's earliest memories, his brother was always present. In the suburbs of Calcutta where they would wander before sunset and in the hyacinth-filled ponds where they would play for hours, Udayan was always within sight of his older brother. So close in age, they were inseparable in childhood. Yet, as the years passed—as American tanks rolled into Vietnam and riots spread across India—their brotherly bond could not prevent the tragedy that would turn their lives upside down. Udayan, charismatic and impulsive, was drawn to the Naxalite movement, an insurgency aimed at eradicating inequality and poverty. He would give everything and risk everything for what he believed in, and in doing so, change the future of those he loved.
