Such are the questions that drive the story of Ramu, a Brahmin man, and Ponni, a woman of the Dalit "untouchable" caste. Set against the backdrop of twentieth-century South India, the novel takes readers from the 1890s village where Ramu's grandmother grew up to the Emergency years of 1970s Madras. Against this sweeping canvas unfolds the drama of Ramu and Ponni's forbidden love, inescapably intertwined with the great struggle against caste oppression. Caught up in the entanglements of love and politics, the couple risk everything to fight for a better society. Will they succeed? Steeped in history, this memorable inter-caste love story shows ordinary people moved to uncommon courage in their desire to make a difference in a ruthless world. -- Back cover. 650 0 $a Caste-based discrimination $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Brahmans $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dalits $z India $v Fiction. 651 0 $a India $x Politics and government $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Brahmans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837534 650 7 $a Caste-based discrimination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01762203 650 7 $a Dalits. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887187 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shankar, Subramanian, 1962- author. $t Ghost in the tamarind $d Honolulu, Hawaiʻi : University of Hawaiʻi Press, [2017] $z 9780824867232 $w (DLC) 2017027879 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171107014347.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4FE22E22C38A11E7B100357297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
