He teaches literature to first-years at the university and encounters a non-violent resistance movement against British rule. It seems to him a bizarre way for an occupied country to confront an empire in a violent unequal world - one more wrong turn, among others, that Indian history has taken.During the ten years from 1932 that he lives with a non-violent family in the 'national monument' that their doomed mansion has become, Akbarabad educates him in varied ways, leaving him stubbornly resistant to non-violence. The book ends in 1968 with a look-back and a reconsideration by the man Nurullah has now become.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45084826534039,"sku":"9788172234447","price":325.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788172234447.webp?v=1769201656","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/lesser-breeds-9788172234447","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
