(The) book eloquently
tells the story of his
Dalit (Untouchable)
family’s journey from an
Indian village to the
Indian and international
middle class. It is the
story of the genius and
determination of his
illiterate father and
his stalwart mother, and
their remarkable
children. It is also a
story about modern India
and its potential. Even
more, it is a moving
story about humankind in
all its
complexity.
