Blurb:
‘Dalits, Dynasty and She’ is a political
satire.
For the first time in the history of the
nation, a Dalit woman leader has captured the seat of power in the most
populous and politically most important state. And decades after the
independence, the Dalits are feeling hopeful of justice and their empowerment.
An old political party, controlled by a
powerful dynasty that has ruled the country most of the years since the
independence, is facing the charges of massive corruption.
A powerful movement against corruption has
erupted under an old social-activist, hijacked by his vocal, ambitious
upper-caste supporters is spreading over the entire country, taking the
political class by surprise.
A small section of the Dailts and tribal,
disgruntled with the status-quo and the feudal power-structure, while the seats
of power change from one set of looters to another have embraced Maoism and are
preparing for an armed revolution.
Will the marginalized sections of the
society get justice and be empowered under the rule of a Dalit leader?
Will the movement against corruption
succeed?
Will the Maoist succeed in an armed
revolution?
Finally, will the chance meeting of so many
strong socio-political currents help the nation usher in a new beginning?
Review:
Story of untouchability, inequality and discrimination.
A story based on political background. Even after 69 years of independence,
society still having the orthodox mentality. Still the Dalits don’t get
recognition and many of them hide their identity like Rama Chandra, a character
of the story. It feels sad when society don’t accept them and calls them
untouchable and sometimes, the richer community dominates them. But Dalits
thought that life was going to be better because a Dalit woman became the chief
minister of the state. But like any other party, there was no real development
could be seen and yes it happens in real life too. Parties do announcements,
make big promises but fails, like Robert (character), he spent a night with the
Dalits just to gain their votes. Whom to blame? It is just we, who give them the
opportunity to dominate. Coming back to the book, the cover doesn’t relate much
to the story. It could have been better and the story line too. But the
narration is perfect and up to the mark, there’s hardly any grammatical
mistakes and the words are also very appropriate to the story. Blurb seems good
and develops interest.
It is a nice effort and many congratulations to the
author for it. These books can really help in coming out with such orthodox
mindset. A person with no interest in politics will find it difficult to read
but a person who likes politics must go with this novel.
I like-
1) Fearless spirit of the author.
2) The issue that is raised in the
book.
I dislike-
1) Story seems to be little boring at
the middle.
