Parliamental

Raghav Marathe, cynical millennial turned reluctant policy analyst, arrives in Delhi with his boss, Prabhu Srikar of the RJM party, and a first-time MP with a tendency to throw up. As they navigate their way around Parliament, handling backroom deals, nepotistic party heads, and laws that seem to be tailor-made to benefit the ruling party, they learn that politics and idealism don't always go together.

While Srikar tries to adapt to his new avatar and lie low, Raghav uses his Twitter alter ego, @Arnavinator, to vent his frustration and spread chaos. But when a new bill that threatens freedom of expression is bulldozed through with impunity, Srikar and Raghav must make a choice — to compromise on their values or to stand up for what is right. But at what cost? And can they and their unlikely allies — a jaded lawyer, an ambitious journalist and a rising YouTube star — really make a difference?

A heady mix of politics, satire and current events, Parliamental is a roller-coaster ride through the corridors of power.
