Writing on the lives of the Mahars of Maharastra, Baby Kamble reclaims memory to locate the Mahar society before it was impacted by Babasaheb Ambedkar, and tells a consequent tale of redemption wrought by a fiery brand of social and selfawareness. The Prisons we Broke provides a graphic insight into the oppresive, caste and patriarchal tenets of the Indian society, byt nowhere does the writing descend to self-pity. With verve and colour the narrative brings to life, among other things, the festivals, rituals, superstitions, snot-nosed children, hard live and hardy women of the Mahar community.
