Description: Set in mid 20th Century New Delhi, Jewel-less Crown is about the rise and fall of the Prabhus, the ambitious Gautam and the conniving Sneha, and the inimical life of their wayward son Suresh as well as his ardent times with the vivacious Vidya. 
In this fascinating saga of life, even as Book I, Artha and Kama, portrays the conflict and resolution arising out of ambition and achievement, intrigue and betrayal, compulsion and compromise, sleaze and scandal, trial and sentence, and regret and remorse, Book II, Dharma and Moksha, depicts the redemption of life in repentance and recompense, hope and despair, love and empathy coupled with compassion and contribution leading to the spirituality of materialism.
