More DescriptionSYNOPSIS of THE UNCOMMON MAN Kaal Sreshta is born in Kud, Kashmir. Following threats by Islamic fundamentalists his family moves to Jammu. Through diplomats in Geneva he voices his opinion on Kashmir's special status, and motivates UN delegates to vote for India on the long pending issue. Being a soft target for fundamentalists he's assassinated at a resort in South England. He leaves behind a 5 years old son and a pregnant wife.Kaal Jr, born after his father's death, grows up with vengeance against the world. Keshav, who's seen his father die, is a quiet supporter of the 3rd world and an active member of X4L, an Indo-German mission with offices in Munich, London, Delhi, and Banaras. Kaushalya who plays the female protagonist is born in a Delhi slum. Her tumultuous life leads her to the Red Light in Amsterdam. Patricia Schmidt is Keshav's lover and a fellow X4L member. Tsering Ngodup, who's had his early education in North India, is a translator of Buddhist scriptures in Munich. Bhim is a businessman and Hindu activist in North India. Santam, Kaushalya's brother, a dockworker, leaves Indian shores to arrive in Sydney aboard a merchant ship. He is baptized, becomes a missionary, and marries Sister Rose. Time leads the characters to each other and in their endeavor to discover themselves they weave a story that revolves around their past, present, and future. This world is mythical and rarely do people get to see what lies behind the curtain called death.
