My next novel, after the debut The Tailor’s Needle, is Emancipation. Emancipation is about two feminists, an American and a British, who have decided to come to India to help Indian women. Deserted by her lover, American Emelia Sedley joins British feminist Clarissa Hatfield on a tour of India with the aim of revolutionizing "the Indian Woman". There is a newfound love for women’s emancipation in India. In the small town of Allahabad, Emelia is drawn towards Vibha who is physically and mentally tortured by her parents-in-law. . . . . . . .

This novel is absolutely different to The Tailor’s Needle. It is a literary tourism of India, particularly Allahabad and Varanasi, the ancient mystical cities that have drawn millions to their rivers and temples. The novel also shows how people still find mystical interest in this country. But more importantly the novel looks into the institution of marriage as it stands today.

Though the novel raises an issue that is highly serious in nature there is an undercurrent, a humorous content that holds the multicultural story together.
