This book explores the inner and outer struggles of Indian families torn between tradition and modernity. It portrays a father’s decades-long journey from poverty and caste prejudice to dignity and education for his child—only to face heartbreak when caste boundaries are challenged by love.

Through a fusion of personal narratives, Dalit thinkers’ philosophies, moral reasoning, and psychological insights, the book discusses:

The psychology of caste-based judgment and silent discrimination.

Parents’ sacrifices and the pain of generational disconnect.

The moral and biological perspectives on rebellion, guilt, and forgiveness.

“Technological casteism”—how AI, social media, and digital reputation echo old hierarchies in modern forms.

The book appeals to both emotional and intellectual readers—students, parents, educators, and policymakers alike.
