!!This work provides examples of:
* AuthorAvatar: Tilottama is at least loosely based on Roy herself.
* BaldWoman: Tilottama is caught by [[TortureTechnician ACP Pinki]] and her head shaved to break her spirit. She keeps her hair cropped close from then on.
* DomesticAbuse: Major Amrik Singh beats [[spoiler:and eventually kills]] his wife Loveleen Singh.
* GoodParents: Anjum keeps telling reporters and activists that no, her family did not reject her for being a transsexual.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Hazrat Sarmad Shaheed and Aurangzeb. Also, Anjum notes the impact that contemporary political figures such as Manmohan Singh, Anna Hazare and Arvind Kejriwal have on her life.
* IronicName: Biplab Dasgupta works for the Intelligence Bureau. (Biplab means 'revolutionary' in Bengali.)
* LargeHam: Nagaraj Hariharan
* MagicalRealism: Generally averted, but one scene has a weevil teacher taking a class on philosophy and ethics.
* [[spoiler:MurderBySuicide]]: [[GeneralRipper Major Amrik Singh]] is encouraged to 'escape' to the US so the Army does not have to investigate him and reveal his crimes. However, the relatives of the people he killed follow him and keep running across him as if by accident. [[spoiler:[[DrivenToSuicide He ends up shooting his family and then himself.]]]]
* ShoutOut: Many to Roy's earlier novel, [[Literature/TheGodOfSmallThings The God Of Small Things]]. The title is probably a shout-out to the four ministries in [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour 1984]].
* {{Transgender}}: Anjum is a transsexual (born as Aftab) who sees herself as female.
* UnknownRival: Anjum resents Saeeda or taking her position as the spokeswoman and heir-apparent of the Khwabgah.
