He is determined to become greater against the crushing cultural forces that conspire to hold him back. Through Arjun’s struggle, Anita Agnihotri explores caste and class discrimination that continues to plague society in contemporary India.Arjun’s story unfolds against the backdrop of the Naxal movement of the 1960s and ’70s that wiped out an entire generation of Bengal’s youth.
