{"product_id":"tamas-bhisham-sahni-9780143138051","title":"Tamas","description":"Tamas, Bhisham Sahni’s 1973 novel, is a product of the Partition’s devastation. It drew immediate and universal critical acclaim for its poignant and striking retelling of Partition and its bloody aftermath. Tamas is a story about how simmering communal tensions snowball into full-fledged riots that grip villages across the subcontinent. In a city in undivided Punjab, Nathu, a tanner, is bribed to kill a pig. When the animal’s carcass is discovered on the steps of the local mosque the next morning, brewing tensions explode into riots and massacre. A seemingly well planned and executed job by the British plants seeds of mistrust and hatred among those who, until the day before, had been close friends and neighbours. Tamas is a chilling reminder of the consequences of religious intolerance and communal prejudice.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50754835775776,"sku":"9780143138051","price":11.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780143138051.jpg?v=1780715622","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/tamas-bhisham-sahni-9780143138051","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
