The story is very well written and neatly presented. Even though the central theme is highly sensitive, that is the caste issue, the author has highlighted it so effortlessly amidst a love story. The story brings about a varied set of emotions that range from being emotionally shut down to bursting with joy.

While reading this book, have a background sound of any of the tracks by Arijeeth Singh (That’s what I did) to literally get lost into the book. The words pop out and touch you while do...

Broken man is an excellent and unique story of the live between Krishna and Chavi. Krishna is a Dalit born and brought up in a village in Bihar whereas Chavi is an out and out city girl who hails from a rich Brahmin family with high political influence. The story shows us that love is not only blind but beyond all boundaries.
The depth of love between Krishna and Chavi touches the deepest cords of the reader's heart. The pain of separation will melt even the strongest person. A lot of issues...

Overall, a decent read. The book is essentially a love story about a man from a "backward" caste and an "upper" caste girl, who meet in a city. Set in UP, the feel and ambiance of the book is rather earthy and could be a tad difficult for a Bombay person like me. Not a bad thing, frankly :) The characters are well etched but nothing extra-ordinary. Possibly, that's how the author wants us to relate to them. The situations (barring 2 - 3) are quite realistic in their setting. But the absolute ...

The book is certainly worth reading where the author put the facts about Dalit community on our table. It is just not a love story but a story of Dailts hardships, their never-ending struggles and the differences and rules set by the society for this deprived section of the society. Author has skillfully woven the love story of a Dalit boy and Brahmin girl where Chhavi becomes the light and guide for this low caste boy called Krishna. It's story of a time, inspiration, patience, inequality an...
