SANATAN BY SHARANKUMAR LIMBALE (TRANSLATED FROM THE HINDI TRANSLATION OF THE MARATHI NOVEL BY PAROMITA SENGUPTA)

"Sanatan" by Sharankumar Limbale is a powerful work of historical fiction that explores the deep-seated history of the Indian caste system and the atrocities committed against the Mahar community in pre-independent India. Rather than focusing on a single protagonist, the book examines systemic oppression and the historical roots of caste hierarchy to illustrate the struggle for dignity amidst social division. It is described as an eye-opening and essential read for understanding the complex, agonizing history of India's social structures.
