Book Description
A collage of stories the growing rebellion in the young and educated Savithri; the spontaneous love of Girija that burns downs the evil forces of the village; the adamant but nourishing affection of Shamala that wins over the Dalit Thippanna, the self-denying fetters of Nirmala's morality; the bewildered recognition of male exploitative in Stella; Basavaraj's longing to outgrow his insatiable thirst for womanising; Parvathi's irresistible calling the coconut tree Basalinga's traumatic touch of the untouchable doctor Thippanna... With the combined strength of the sceptic and saint, eminent Kannada literary culture figure Lankesh uncovers the invisible realities of politics and culture in contemporary India in these mediations on life's failure and fulfillment.
