Khaki in Dust Storm is a gripping story of immersive investigations led by the celebrated police officer Amod K. Kanth who found himself at the vortex of India's tumultuous period of the 1980s and early 1990s.

His vision of the protective role and change agents that policemen can play in society, provided they help to create appropriate opportunities and supporting framework, is slowly coming true through
