Girl in Scarlet Hijab

By Suresh U. Kumar

1981. Cochin, Kerala. The city is in chaos as student revolutionaries form a human barricade on the streets, bringing the home minister's convoy to a standstill outside a hospital. Inside, their beloved leader-- an ageing freedom fighter-turned-celebrated writer and guiding light of the burgeoning socialist movement-- lies at death's door, the victim of a brazen assassination attempt orchestrated by the corrupt political elite. With widespread protests engulfing the state, a group of youth leaders rally to challenge the oppressive regime. At the heart of this uprising stands a mysterious girl in a scarlet hijab, whose fierce courage and tactical genius make her indispensable to the revolution. As tensions rise, secrets begin to surface, threatening to upend the lives of everyone involved. In Girl in Scarlet Hijab, Suresh U. Kumar crafts a riveting tale of heroism, sacrifice and the battle for justice, where every choice could alter the course of history.
