Little Qalandar: a Bear & a Boy Kindle Edition

by Sharmila Sankar (Author), Kanchi Mehta (Illustrator)

Format: Kindle Edition

14 year old Shakeel is proud of his Qalandar heritage. His family has earned a living by dancing Sloth Bears for generations. Their bears have performed for Kings and British Generals. It is only when he comes face to face with the mutilation of Chintu, his little bear cub, that he knows has to choose. In this new India, his poor nomadic family is now on the other side of the law.
Does he side with his family and continue the tradition that is their livelihood? Or does he choose to save Chintu – and earn the wrath of the father that he adores?

This story moves from the red sandstones of Fatehpur Sikhri to the busy avenues of Agra city as Shakeel comes up to speed with modern living and searches for the family he has lost.
