Story of a family in an Indian town.
Everyone knows about the caste system in India. People of schedule caste and schedule tribe caste have been suffering from the discrimination for ages. But there are people of other castes who are also suffering from the class system. There is no end on how many criteria we, the Indians, are divided. Through this book, I penned the story of the class system in a small town where resources are limited but the people find the ways to be superior.
The story runs between the two generations. The protagonist of the story is Satyajit. Satyajit does not face any hardship that his father, Ramesh, had to. However, he could not integrate with the society. He, partially pushed by his parents, looked for ways to become like others - rich. However, he chooses a different path. Rather than working hard and starting his own business as others did, he decided to use education as a means to achieve his goal. In this journey, the closer he reaches his goal, more alienated he becomes to the society he wanted to integrate with.
