Santa Claus in India

In a little north Indian village next to India’s famous Grand Trunk Road an airborne visitor who has flown over the mighty Himalayan mountain range finally comes to a halt. His arrival has been tracked by Indian radar, but no alarms sound. Indeed, when his appearance is reported to the President of India himself he seems to be pleased. It is as if some secret plan is being put into operation.
It is not long though before one of India’s foremost investigative reporters is on the case, trying to discover why part of Delhi’s main station has been cordoned off and is being guarded by the Black Cats, India’s elite commandoes.
And then begins an event-filled journey to India’s southern tip, where the mythical visitor leaves a group of children with uplifting thoughts on their future, the natural world, and their fellow beings.
