| Summary | "Atmâ" by C. A. Frazer is a romance novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against a historical backdrop, detailing the life of Atmâ Singh, a Sikh who grapples with themes of faith, love, and identity in a time of upheaval. The narrative intertwines spiritual exploration and cultural history, particularly focusing on the teachings of Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, and the historical trials faced by the Sikh community. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a somber atmosphere marked by reflections on decay, spirituality, and the quest for meaning. It begins with a poetic lament about the beauty of decay contrasted with the futility of human struggles against lost faith. The story quickly transitions into the past, recounting the life of Nanuk and the evolution of his teachings into a formal religious structure. We then meet Raee Singh, an elderly Sikh whose life experiences embody the themes of loss and spiritual longing as he faces the aftermath of the Sikh defeat in war. Eventually, we follow his son, Atmâ, wrestling with his identity and fate amidst changing societal conditions while also foreshadowing his romantic entanglement with Moti, the daughter of his uncle, Lehna Singh. This sets the stage for a complex narrative exploring love, loyalty, and the search for spiritual truth in a tumultuous world. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
