The Sword and the Sickle
Home from the war and a German prison camp, Lalu finds his father dead, the family land gone, and a Punjab countryside filling with peasant leagues. A princely revolutionary draws him into the agitation, where Gandhians and communists each want the villages to mean something different. The trilogy's close, and Anand's fullest argument about who owns the land.
