Description

The Love Commandos are dedicated to helping lovers from different castes marry for love in spite of India's millennia-old caste prejudices. But when a would-be Romeo from the Untouchable caste is kidnapped, the Love Commandos turn to Vish Puri for help. Has his fiancée's father made good on his promise and done away with him? Or is his disappearance the result of other forces at work? It falls to Vish Puri to find out. Unfortunately, he's not having a good month. He can't locate a haul of stolen jewelry. He's been pickpocketed. And the only person who can get his wallet back is his interfering Mummy-ji.Things only get worse when he discovers that his archrival, Hari Kumar, is also trying to locate the abducted boy -- as is a genetics research institute exploiting illiterate villagers.
     As the story moves from the pilgrimage site of Vaishno Devi to the "Moonlight Garden" in the shadows of the Taj Mahal, the world's greatest monument to love, we see India's past and future collide in ways that will change Puri and his undercover operatives forever.
