In rural India two worlds co-exist in extreme contrast to one another. There is the world of the big landowners, extraordinarily wealthy and hungry for power, and there is the world of the underclass mostly untouchable landless labourers, toiling for a mere pittance and living in virtual thraldom. Prafulla Roy s contemporary masterpiece, translated here as Freedom s Ransom, encompasses these two worlds as he develops the intertwining story of a rich landholder s quest for political power and the touching tale of a young Dalit couple and their dream of freedom from years of bonded labour. With remarkable candour and sensitivity, Prafulla Roy depicts the world of the rural underclass in what is a richly detailed social document, a critique of contemporary India and as in all his works a powerful story.
