Outweighed by Outcasts

Author Name: Saran S. & Prerna Jatav | Format: Paperback | Genre : Reference & Study Guides | Other Details

A deep study of human existence brings to the fore a sharp realization of the fact that the flip side of western education and advancement is the covert attempt at colonization. From food to our software, dependence upon the capitalists of the world is complete. This kind of dependence is a resultant of empowerment for the colonizers who then command absolute power.

The story of human society is no different, as the struggle for power remains the same and all aspects of human life viz gender, race, religion, money and even nationality become agents of power and thereby core centres of tyranny. This tyranny then radiates onto the demographics of the weak and creates several groups of outcastes that do not or cannot conform to the power centres. The unequal distribution of power tilts the tables and while the treacherous ones contest for power, the meek, deluded by prayers, move to the corners. The process keeps getting intensified leaving no place for the less aggressive but the margins. This compilation researches several such avenues that have subtly created such outcast pockets and is an attempt to bring to light all such struggles.
