The Big Smoke (Paperback)

The flamboyant hippie daze in old Bombay witnessed by an underprivileged Hindu teenager. Where disrespect of women in this once safe city has sunk to its lowest degree, with the evidence being suppressed by the victims afraid to confront the perpetrators, the corrupt authorities are ignoring and covering up legitimate complaints and general society is unwilling to confront a moral issue that is draining into the gutters of history. Years later, when his female college classmate is assaulted by a two-bit Muslim drug dealer, his friendship goes to the extremes even he wasn't aware he was capable of, using the help of some Christian friends to make things right.
