The book 'Innocence' focused on India's partition in 1947, and it affected the lives of over twenty-five million people who were forced to migrate and become refugees. Millions died. Innocence follows Shukumar, the male protagonist. He grew up in a repressed society like India, where open sexuality is taboo and kept hidden. However, in Western culture, it is accepted and embraced as a natural human characteristic. So, when he settled in Europe, open sexual expression had a dramatic impact. This gave the illusion of sexual freedom and gratification that led to social decadence and ‘Hell’. Shukumar plunges himself into the inferno to taste Hell and encounters death but survives. Kakoli, the female protagonist who was gang-raped by Muslim goondas during riots and dumped into a ditch, escaped death. The author talks about the human animalistic passion for killing and thirst for blood that has stained the psyche of humanity. Shukumar and Kakoli struggles to survive and beat all the odds stacked against them. They turned their misfortune into a powerful guiding spirit that created a new beginning filled with hope. This new beginning was filled with a belief that humanity can overcome all the tragedies and sufferings that came into their lives. Their story is a tale of innocence!
