The protagonist is a university lecturer with liberal views, married to a doctor, and surrounded by friends in the civil services and private sectors. While this might seem like a familiar middle-class narrative, the twist lies in their Dalit identity. At the heart of the story lies the clash between caste and class, prompting the question: can one truly be middle-class while being Dalit?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"1431\"\u003eThis novel explores the layered meanings of caste, untouchability, and the role of education in liberating individuals from societal constraints.
