Samayaka Prativimbaharu

These stories look at social realities and the contradictions inside people. In one, a stranger walks through a town looking for drinking water and finds none; a hermit who has searched for years tells him the marches in the streets no longer protest the lack of water but the town's other wrongs. In another, a teacher with a paralysed lip believes a pupil is mocking him and beats the boy. Others turn to political satire, the destruction of nature, and the everyday struggle to make a living.
