Description:
The hero of The Romantics, Samar, is a young Brahman self-made intellectual drawn to the culture of Europe and America, yet fully formed by his own Brahmanism. His apartment in Benares -- the holy city on the Ganges where he is nominally, but casually, a graduate student at the university -- adjoins that of the intriguing Miss West, who introduces him to a group of Europeans looking for enlightenment in Benares, while his campus life revolves around Rajesh, a disintegrating campus radical, who surrounds himself with a group of thugs and petty thieves. From his complex involvement with Miss West and Rajesh Samar learns the cost to himself of trying to occupy two worlds at once, of trying to break free from the constraints of his origins, while remaining faithful to them.
