Oorabavi and Other Stories is a collection of Kolakaluri Enoch’s short stories on the life in rural India, predominantly the life of Dalits. Life in rural India revolves around the village well and water sharing, caste domination and operation by dominant castes. Enoch tried tackling the problem way back in 1969 through successful resistance and reclamation of water as a right by the marginalized in a village. The volume while successfully defining and giving concrete reality to rooted institutions of caste in India, it also brilliantly recreates suppressed and silenced histories of men and women of various caste occupations- cobbler, scavengers, barbers, washer men, and actors in street plays, beside sensitive portrayal of village youth small time workers in hotels etc. The narrative ranges between exploitation and revenge, hunger and vulnerability, oppression and submission, conscience and need, rebellion and resistance, deprivation and triumph.
