Naya Pradesh is a planet in an S-type orbit around one of the stars in a binary system. It was terraformed by bug ferrets, but following some elaborate trade deals, it got handed over to the Earth-based human government of India. Shyam grew up on the large wormhole station in high orbit of Naya Pradesh. It was kind of like living in an international airport.
