I was pleasantly surprised to see a Sikh protagonist in Sacred Games and very impressed by the authenticity of Sartaj's mom's portrayal. She reminded me of my grand mom (I am sikh whose grandparents lived in Lahore before the partition). I liked the book so much that I wrote to Vikram and <br />asked him about how he decided on a Sikh protagonist, something that is rare. I forgot what he replied but he did give a really long reply and it made my day. I never expected that reply.

The book, as you rightly said, would work much better in a series format rather than in a movie. <br />I do think I need to re-read the book to understand the doppleganger effect - it was fast paced and I read it too quick a few years ago. To me, both characters were products of the same place and similar timing/era, and so, they do have similar influences. <br />The name though was a red herring to me. Understandably, the "sacred" was due to the identity of the influential person in Gaitonde's life. But I had expected, from the title, more religious imagery and "games" in the story.
