Gwowing up as a boy from the Parayar caste, in the milieu of Christian, Hindu and Muslim communities, K. A. Gunasekaran narrates th familiar tale of caste oppression and prejudice prevalent in the villages of Tamil Nadu. As the narrative unfolds, the reader is shown how the low caste negotiates differently with the three religious communities. The deep pain of the Paraya surfaces through the risible anecdotes that ridicule the grievously unjust practices of the upper castes.
