UNTOUCHABLE SPRING BY G. KALYANA RAO (TRANSLATED FROM THE TELUGU BY ALLADI UMA AND SRIDHAR)

*Untouchable Spring* by G. Kalyana Rao is a political fiction novel that depicts the multi-generational struggle of the Mala and Madiga communities against the Indian caste system. While the reviewer found the book emotionally heavy and difficult to navigate due to its dense characters and cultural details, they ultimately recommend it for its vital exploration of caste oppression.
