The Dust of Allahabad is a compelling Indian saga of forbidden love and resistance that moves from the conservative world of Allahabad University to the harsh reality of Mumbai’s Dharavi.

Ananya, a gifted student from a marginalized settlement, and Rajveer Singh, son of an arrogant Thakur dynasty, collide in an intellectual debate that awakens an unlikely bond. Their defiance invites the wrath of Kaushalya Devi, Rajveer’s ruthless mother, and unleashes violence against Ananya’s family, forcing the couple to flee to Mumbai.

There, Ananya endures rejection and works in a garment factory while Rajveer abandons privilege to survive in Mumbai’s criminal shadows. The birth of their son Aarav turns their struggle into a fight for dignity and a renewed future.

Captured and returned to Allahabad, they confront a silent psychological prison within Singh Niwas. Using courage and covert evidence, Ananya and Rajveer engineer a midnight escape that ends in a decisive showdown at the Sangam.

More than an escape tale, the novel chronicles the collapse of oppression and the rise of equality, proving that true revolution begins in the mind.
