Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of colonial India, "Opium and Empire: A Ghalib-Zafar Chronicles" is a daring and thought-provoking tale that reimagines history through a haze of rebellion and camaraderie. Mirza Ghalib, the poetic genius, and Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor, find themselves united in an unlikely alliance fueled by opium and a shared disdain for British oppression. As their minds wander through the philosophical and the absurd, they concoct a series of audacious plans to undermine the British Raj. What begins as a stoner escapade soon evolves into a profound exploration of freedom, identity, and the power of resistance. This literary fiction blends humor, history, and existential musings, offering readers a unique perspective on a pivotal era in India's past.
