Revolution 2020


The author has stated that the novel is based on the "rampant corruption" apparent in the Indian youth educational system, with the choice of Varanasi as a setting emerging through "a special connection to the city" following his visit. He further said "it is one of our oldest cities, and people there now have modern aspirations. I thought the contrast would be interesting. The city also has a lot of character. Gopal loves Aarti who is his close intimate friend. His love is unrequited when she becomes Raghav's, his friend's, girlfriend. Gopal, who is poor and couldn't attend a top college because of his lower grades, builds an engineering college and becomes rich. Meanwhile Raghav after graduating from a top college campaigns for social progress as a journalist exposing scams. Raghav in his work neglects Aarti who starts to go out with Gopal. Raghav also by making enemies becomes poor. Aarti finally returns Gopal's love for her and they decide to marry. However, Gopal in the end destroys his relationship on purpose with the love of his life, Aarti, and helps Raghav with his career so Raghav can marry her. He did this so Raghav can become a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), since Aarti's family has political clout and it was believed whoever Aarti married could easily become an MLA. He wanted Raghav to become an MLA to help him in his mission to reform Indian society.
