The pearls of Coromandel

Trama

John Sugden joined the Indian Civil Service in order to begin his career in the British government. But the days of the Raj are numbered: Gandhi and Jinnah are rallying their nationalist followers against the English, while Muslims and Hindus battle each other. Sugden flouts tradition by falling in love with Kamala, whose father would rather see her die than marry into the Raj.
