Vishwajyoti Ghosh
Harpercollins India
247 pages, Rs 499
A worthy addition to the small shelf of Indian graphic novels, ‘Delhi Calm’ is how the newspapers described the national capital on June 26, 1975—the day Indira Gandhi declared a state of emergency. Ghosh puts a trio of young Delhi-wallahs, the Naya Savera band, against this historic period, and shows them dreaming of change and stoking the fires of rebellion with music.
