Seventeenth-century Java is in turmoil between its Hindu-Buddhist past and its Muslim future, while pepper draws Europe’s quarrelling spice-hungry traders to its shores. Thomas Hodges of the East India Company seizes a chance at glory by being the first to venture ashore at the pepper port of Banten in 1608. Will he unlock the mysterious riches of Java for the English, or die forgotten with a Javanese kris or Portuguese poignard between his ribs? He falls under the spell of a captivating interpreter, Sri, but can only retain both her and his Englishness by inventing a mission from King James to the mysterious great ruler of the interior – Mataram. In Mataram he finds a kingdom poised to decide its destiny – between a rich past of gods and spirits, a sterner Islam and pushy Europeans offering both science and God. For Hodges and Sri, survival alone will be a challenge; reconciling survival and desire with conscience in this baffling spiritual landscape appears impossible.

This book is purely written from the perspective of a young entrepreneur and the "one out of billion" dreams in India. Vande Mataram is a series particularly focusing and addressing the development issues in India. India is the biggest democracy in the world, which has taken giant strides in the last few decades. We are now the world's third-largest economy (in purchasing power parity terms). However, being an Indian, you can't resist 'chalta hai' (let it be) prevailing attitude, moreover, for everything we have 'jugaad'. But in between this, we can not forget everyday issues, which continue to pose hurdles in the progress of the nation. These social, political and economic issues are meant to be taken into consideration, to improve the prevailing condition of our society. Issues like corruption, crime, the status of the road network and so on, need to be looked into immediately. A very close and personal series for me, join my journey to know and find the answers of a "youth" vision.
