Beschreibung:
Aravind Mallagatti (Author) ARAVIND MALAGATTI is an eminent Kannada poet and writer. He has published more than fifty books, which include poetry, fiction and literary criticism. He was the recipient of the prestigious Ambedkar Fellowship Award from the government of Karnataka. His autobiography, Government Brahmana, the first Dalit autobiography in Kannada, won the Karnataka Sahitya Akademi Award.
Karya brings out the poignancy in a situation that gets out of hand when a Dalit community performs the rites for the dead. A draft of wind flames the fire of the kullagi (the ritual fire made out of dung cakes) and it has to be put down on the ground. The ceremony is ruined because the ritual demands that the fire be carried by hand and never be placed on the ground. A series of things then since start going wrong because one part of the ceremony has not been completed. Karya is critique of religious customs and rituals. It also highlights the pathos of belonging to a Dalit community.
