Bahujan: The Awakening — A Story of Defiance, Dignity, and Democracy

Bahujan: The Awakening is a searing, unflinching portrayal of a community pushed to the edge by caste violence, systemic neglect, and the stranglehold of gangsters and religious extremism. Set in the raw, pulsating heart of a jhopadpatti, the novel traces the rise of a Dalit resistance movement determined to reclaim justice and human dignity.

As the Gram Panchayat elections approach, simmering tensions erupt into open confrontation—between power and the powerless, silence and voice, fear and courage. What unfolds is not merely a political drama, but a powerful meditation on the possibilities of grassroots democracy, collective action, and the will to survive with self-respect.

Gripping, urgent, and deeply human, Bahujan: The Awakening does more than tell a story—it demands that we reckon with the unfinished battles of equality and the fragile promise of justice in contemporary India
