Annihilation of Caste
The Bindhu
The reader, if she enjoys comedy and satire, and can stomach caricatures of Tam-Brahms and their lifestyle, can laugh as loudly as some characters in this novel fart. The way the novel wears its comic heart on its sleeve is deceptive; Srividya has produced one of the finest fictional critiques of caste society.
