Summary
"A wonderful coming-of-age tale of adventures of two generations across two continents. A father born into a middle class family in colonial India, compelled by tragedy to build a new life in British East Africa, at a very young age. A son born in racially segregated Kenya, experiencing the injustice and cruelty of colonial rule and the pain of the Mau Mau rebellion. The political turmoil leaving him confused as to who was right and who was wrong. This journey of Indian migrants in Kenya, has been captured in personal stories, in their historical context, as seen through the eyes of two generations of a family. This is the story of the footprints left by Jaihind and his father Kartar Sumal."--Page [4] of cover
