What happens when democracy begins to wear a mask—and the truth is no longer safe?
When The Moon Shines By Day by Nayantara Sahgal is a bold, thought-provoking fiction novel set in a chillingly familiar India, where intolerance grows louder and silence becomes a form of survival. Sahgal, one of India’s most celebrated literary voices, uses her signature sharp prose to explore what it means to live in a country that is slowly erasing its own identity.
The novel follows Rehana, a cultured, thoughtful art historian, who witnesses her peaceful world unravel as the country around her transforms. Books are banned, writers disappear, minorities live in fear, and neighbors begin to turn on one another. Amidst this turbulence, Rehana finds solace—and danger—in a new romance that challenges her values, safety, and the very ground beneath her feet.
This is not just a love story—it’s a powerful meditation on the erosion of freedom, the rewriting of history, and the resilience of those who refuse to look away. Sahgal weaves together political critique with emotional nuance, making the personal deeply political.
When The Moon Shines By Day is a mirror held up to our time, asking difficult questions and daring readers to imagine a society where fiction and fear overlap. It's a must-read for anyone who values truth, resistance, and the quiet courage of standing firm.
