The Encirclement: The Geometry of Sovereignty
byAnirban Ray
About the Book
A nation stands on the edge of a historic agreement.
RAW officer Vikram Malhotra knows it could become a historic mistake.
Hidden beneath the deal’s elegant language is a chakravyuh: a formation that closes ring by ring until escape is impossible. Built not with armies, but economics.
The economist is Dr. Nandana Roy, daughter of a Nobel laureate whose life's work was the ethics of development. For a decade, she has convinced herself she still serves it.
She did not build the chakravyuh. Viktor Szabo did, turning her father's diagnosis into the method she now serves without knowing it.
Then her mother's essays find her: thirty years of writing about the questions we stop asking. The rings are closing.
THE ENCIRCLEMENT is a literary thriller about the systems we serve without seeing, and the moment we finally do.
