Caste, as it is experienced in everyday life, is the piece de resistance of this book. Thirty-two voices narrate how from childhood to adulthood, caste intruded upon their livesfood, clothes, games, gait, love, marriage and every aspect of ones existence including death. Like the editor Perumal Murugan says, caste is like god, it is omnipresent. The contributors write about the myriad ways in which they have experienced caste. It may be in the form of forgoing certain kinds of food, or eating food at secluded corners of a household, or drinking tea out of a crushed plastic cup, or drinking black coffee in a coconut shell or water poured from above into a cupped hand. Such experiences may also take the form of forbidden streets, friends disapproved of and love denied. And when one leaves behind the fear of caste while living ones life, there is still death to deal with.
