As the famous Gowda family political dynasty is rocked by a scandal, the Parliament can expect to hear many ever-growing recriminating voices. What started as a storm with Nikhil Kumaraswamy, the grandson of former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, has now transformed into a fire that cannot be put out; the primary reason behind this was the emergence of the sex video that stirred up the online world.
Amidst the chaos and the rumors, the only option for Nikhil is to be brave and to go to the police, stating the videos are nothing but extremely modified and altered segments of footage. However, her fearless move has just revealed the opening of this legal battle, which is full of drama. In this drama, integrity, names, and truth still need clarification.
The gist of the novel is, then, that many uncertainties arise: Is this bid by one’s adversaries to bloodily smear the name of another aristocrat? Instead, are those doubts emerging from a delusion or from the fact that reality is more complicated than evident to the eye? The Gowda family, famed for being virtually indestructible in the face of whatever obstacles may come their way, have uncomplainingly pulled together for Nikhil in this very trial to redeem his name.
On the one hand, the online community has contributed immensely by influencing a substantial number of people to join the discussion. On the other hand, the public conversation has heated up, with fierce and passionate debates carried out across the nation. Some view the political elite with a harsh expression; others warn against being cautious because all it takes to fake modern technology is a click. The uproar is pervasive, and amidst it, all we can be sure of is this: that the entire episode has become an object of attention for the people of this nation, who were already wired to the political shenanigans of history.
The wagging tongues and whispering branches alert us all to the fate of the investigation that is unraveling as we watch. Will Nikhil be obeyed, or will the scandal leave an indelible stain on the Gowda legacy? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: this is a story that will be written into the history of Indian politics, a lesson about the ever-dynamical environment of scandal and reform.
