In the story Satyaki dropped school to join the militants, comes back after 20 years to his teacher for guidance-I was told that society cheated us. After 20 years of jungle life we got nowhere. I am now asking myself who cheated whom? Did society really deceive us? Or, we are deceiving society?? Or, we are deceiving ourselves??? Said Sipra - The discipline and hard work of the cadets impressed me. I started liking them. At night I quietly cried for them. They were so innocent and they were being trained to be mindless killers. And I was teaching them history. It was so incongruous. The reader will want to go back to some passages to absorb the sheer beauty or reflect over the intriguing issues of life. The narration brings out the ambience of Majuli vividly.
