Colours of Red

Set in the war zone of Bastar, this is a dramatic tale of a young paramilitary officer caught in the cross hairs ofife. Known infamously as the ‘red corridor’ of India, Bastar is a place dominated by Naxalite violence, fear and bloodshed, a place that was once blessed by the Gods but has now turned it into ‘God-forsakenand’. Shaurya, the highly patriotic commandant of the Counter Insurgency Task Force, gets posted to Bastar. He soon starts believing that his banishment to the wilderness of Bastar’s Dandakarnaya forest is an ‘official punishment’ to curb his Bohemianifestyle. He, however, decides to adjust his moral compass even more to survive theoneliness. Shenaya, a young, beautiful Bastaria woman, is on a journey of self-discovery. She is a scientist, who uses her wit and intellect to full effect. Shaurya and Shenaya are immediately drawn to each other and a relationship ensues that is both amorous and intellectual. They soon become pawns in a dangerous game, one that has no winners. This is a taleike no other.
