He hoped that both the Hindus and Muslims out of deference to their respective faiths would spare Ramgolam the injustices heaped upon him and his class. But Ramgolam who succeeds his grandfather as the Methar Sarder gets no reprieve. As he launches a movement in his youth to safeguard the basic rights of his own community, he is caught in the tentacles of religious stigma, social prejudice and power brokering and is ultimately crushed. Like most tales of subaltern resistance, Ramgolam's story ends in further alientation and victimization for the socially, economically and racially marginalized."--Back cover. 500 $a Novel. 500 $a Translated from the Bengali. 500 $a "First publication Ashar 1426, July 2019"--Title page verso. 650 0 $a Caste-based discrimination $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Bengali (South Asian people) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dalits $z Bangladesh $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Bengali (South Asian people) $x Social life and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00830367 650 7 $a Caste-based discrimination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01762203 650 7 $a Dalits. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887187 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 0 $a Bangladesh $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Bangladesh $x Economic conditions $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Bangladesh. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01213724 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 765 08 $i Translation of: $a JaladaÌsa, HarisÌamÌ£kara, 1955- $t RaÌmagolaÌma. $b 1. prakaÌsÌa. $d DÌ£haÌkaÌ : PrathamaÌ PrakaÌsÌana, 2012 $z 9789848765869 $w (OCoLC)791686767 $w (OCoLC)791686767 700 1 $a Billah, Quazi Mostain, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021055.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F48E2A3E3D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
