Kusum

The book goes beyond some mere words or compiled pages, offering a compassionate portrayal of the hardships endured by a tribal family. It is a poignant mirror reflecting the raw realities of a tribal family. The book narrates the heartwarming tale of a poor tribal father and mother navigating the harsh inequities imposed by the system meant to uplift them. The story lays bare the stark truth that life for poor tribals is fraught with challenges. The book raises profound questions like, 'Why do tribals face barriers to higher education?' 'Why, despite government aid, do tribals lag behind?' 'Why do so many tribal children drop out of school?' and scrutinizes how the tribals encounter obstacles in asserting their own rights and in availing the benefits of policies and schemes meant for their upliftment and development. While some of these questions, explored and pondered within the pages of the book, others serve as a catalyst for introspection and deeper inquiry."
