Written by a former director of the Indian Ministry of Coal, and loosely based on the disastrous flood at the Bagdihi colliery in 2001, which trapped and killed dozens of miners, The Sound of Water is written with both an insider’s authority and rare literary style.
When the ancient ways of a peaceful but brave tribe is threatened by the arrogance of an empire, savagery of the "civilised" and greed of the affluent, the only thing left to do is rise in rebellion.
