Dr. Arvind Kumar Sharma

Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">This paper focuses on contemplative condition of the poor in some locality and how they are tortured. Facing all the torments how they feel and what type of ideas they have in their mind. This novel proves that no one is criminal by birth but circumstance sometimes forces a person to be more than a criminal only in the quest to be free from the shackles of abjectness or to live a proper life like others. It depends on the conditions or the mulish propensity of a person to what extent he can reach to overtake the barriers of his life. Balram, the protagonist, who has seen the sacrifices and the piteous condition of his family, does not like to tolerate the same. Getting an opportunity, though not predetermined for this inhumane deed, Balram murders his master and becomes an entrepreneur.&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:.3in;line-height:200%"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
