When Bhakkiyam falls in love with a Dalit sub-inspector, death is the only punishment that will satisfy her village panchayat. Pazhani, her father, is ordered to kill her. But how can a father murder his own daughter? Imayam's powerful tale about caste bitterness- a sickness that continues to plague Indian society- eerily preceded an actual event that occurred two months later. The narrative, constructed on short, crisp dialogues, is an unflinching account of the ugliness and trauma that await those who dare to transcend caste borders
The book brings out the hardcore reality of South and in a way describe the orthodoxy of our nation that placed so called dharma above humanity .... story is beautifully placed...loved it 😊
