Indian Magic - Khanna Balraj

When Ravi Kumar Mehra MA steps off the train at Victoria station, London in the autumn of 1962, he is fully equipped with the all-important work permit and five pounds in his pocket. A brave new life lies ahead! He's 23, educated, good-looking - a real Star of India. What can possibly stand in his way? Disillusion sets in. The Mother Country is a hostile place in which non-whites are not welcome. But the kindness of strangers helps Ravi to walk tall - and after six days of sleeping rough, his luck changes, for the Indian Magic curry house is recruiting for a dishwasher. When Ravi falls in love - deeply and forever - life takes a more dangerous turn, for the girl in question is the English Rose next door, and her father is unhinged. Anything could happen...
