Produced by Charles Bowen, from page scans provided by Google Books (the University of California) "In the Permanent Way" by Flora Annie Steel is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in India, mixing cultural and religious themes while exploring colonial presence and local beliefs. The story revolves around Deen Mahomed, an old Muslim watchman who guards a church, which is a former tomb, as he reconciles his identity between two religions while facing societal and personal turmoil, particularly tied to his grandson Rahmut’s tragic accident. The opening of the novel sets a contemplative tone, introducing a complex interplay of faith and duty as Deen Mahomed rings a church gong and surveys the congregation entering the church. An incident occurs as his young grandson is tragically crushed by a carriage, which sets the course for Deen Mahomed's emotional turmoil and his deeper connection to his religious beliefs amidst the chaos of colonial India. The portrayal of characters in their daily lives against the backdrop of historical tensions creates a rich tapestry of themes like identity, faith, and the legacy of colonialism, setting the stage for further exploration in the narrative.
