In the village of Akolner, a pre-teen named Jabya Somnath Awghade Kachru Mane lives in a makeshift house on the outskirts of a caste-segregated community, sharing space with his parents and two older sisters, one of whom is a widow with a toddler. The family belongs to the Kaikadi community, an oppressed caste, and their everyday life is built around a string of menial jobs. Owing to the caste-ridden power structure, Jabya’s father projects fear and submission, a temperament that is veiled and exploited by the village’s upper-caste residents.
