A touching narrative on evil social discrimination and the practice of untouchability. From the viewpoint of the protagonist, who belongs to the untouchables, one understands the ground reality of the conditions in which the socially oppressed live. The entire story is based on a single day of the protagonist but is enough to make us really feel for the suffering, pain, abuse, inhumanity and despair experienced by them.
