Beschreibung

'What are the consequences of uncontrolled power and of unhindered desire? How do the arrogance of upper caste power in Nancharaiah and the awakening of the rights of the underprivileged from the Madiga community play out in the village of Vejendla? How do the political intrigues and contours of love clash in the lives of Ramudu, Suvvi and Chandiri? Does the desire to educate herself empower a Madiga woman to free herself from the clutches of patriarchy and remain unconquered? These are but a few questions that Kolakaluri Enoch's novel, Randhi: Of Power and Desire, unfurls in a translation by Kaki Madhava Rao that seeks to match the power of the original. ALLADI UMA and M. SRIDHAR
