Across the Black Waters
Lalu crosses the kala pani with a sepoy regiment in 1914, and caste dissolves somewhere in the Mediterranean along with any clear idea of whose war this is. Marseilles is a wonder and the French villages are kind, and then comes a winter of mud and shellfire in the trenches of Flanders. Rare among accounts of the Western Front for being written from inside the Indian Corps.
