THE RURAL SETTINGS, LIFESTYLES, AND SEEMINGLY TERRIFYING INCIDENTS DEPICTED IN THE SHORT STORY COLLECTION ‘KALOKHATIL KALOKH` ARE ENOUGH TO SEND SHIVERS DOWN THE SPINES OF URBAN READERS. EXPERIENCING SURPRISING TWISTS AND TURNS, BOTH GOOD AND BAD, WITH EVERY TURN OF THE PAGE, ONE CAN`T HELP BUT WONDER: IF THIS IS HAPPENING OR HAS HAPPENED IN REALITY, WHAT MUST BE HAPPENING TO THE SENSIBILITIES OF THE PEOPLE IN THAT REGION? THIS COLLECTION PRESENTS A `LABYRINTH`... THERE IS MONEY AND LUST FOR WOMEN... A SCHOOL TEACHER IMPARTS VALUES, BUT ULTIMATELY BECOMES A VICTIM HIMSELF. THE ‘KALOKHATIL KALOKH` OF THESE VALUES IS REVEALED IN THE CUTTHROAT COMPETITION AMONG WOMEN IN THEIR PROFESSION... PULLING DOWN THEIR OWN DIGNITY AND TEACHING OTHERS TO DO THE SAME, EVERYONE SINKS DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE DARKNESS OF THEIR TRADE. THE `LIGHT` OF INTELLECTUAL KNOWLEDGE SEEMS TO BE EXTINGUISHED EVERYWHERE. IS `DALIT` JUST A CASTE? NO, IT`S A VERBAL WEAPON, AND THE TEACHERS WHO EXPLOIT THE CONFLICT BETWEEN BUSINESSMEN AND DALITS FOR THEIR OWN FINANCIAL GAIN ARE TEACHERS ONLY IN NAME... LET`S READ ON!
