Product Details
Overview
People of Gopallapuram is set in a small South Indian village as India stands on the threshold of independence. The community is undergoing rapid transformation—its social structures shifting and its economic landscape evolving—as the colonial era fades and a new nation emerges.
Lovers, village leaders, tenant farmers, and laborers all find themselves swept up in this tide of change, struggling to navigate questions of caste, identity, and progress.
In Ki Rajanarayanan’s classic ode to rural life, translated by Shubashree Desikan, the humble South Indian village comes vividly alive—its people, struggles, and spirit portrayed with warmth, humor, and humanity, reminding readers of the enduring pulse of India’s heartland.
