The Rat Eater

A convulsive and speculative read, if that's what you expect from fiction, then the authors have delivered it. Every chapter in this book is loaded with the author's contemplation on the current Indian state of morality with the story plot which is a crossroad of negative social constructs in our society and the hypocrisy we see in our daily walks of life. In this way, it provokes to understand the oppression being apprehended towards Dalits for centuries.

Also, it enlightens how trivial the human race has become a despot to claim existence for a brief period on mother earth, because of their cumulative layers of egoism which have been acquired from birth to death for no reason only to become Vibuthi or stardust in the ultimate end.

You might think what good fiction can do but it turns out that we have always survived this long only because of change in perspective in the course of time. The authors believed in a large collective change in the human mind towards progression instead of selfishness. That can bring powerful simplification to just exist with every creature on this planet, without bringing mundane absurdities.

A predictive plot in the end which didn't surprise me because this story is not just to bring you pleasure by reading some words rather to critically think beyond the plot and take away home some points to spread goodness in the society.
