The story unfolds against the backdrop of The Great Game, the political conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia. It is set after the Second Afghan War which ended in 1881, but before the Third. The novel is notable for its detailed portrait of the people, culture, and varied religions of India.
The book presents a vivid picture of India, its teeming populations, religions, and superstitions, and the life of the bazaars and the road.
