Am I A Dalit?

In the caste-shadowed streets of Chennai, a Brahmin man's arrogance meets its reckoning when fate leads him to a Dalit woman and her newborn. Vikash, bound by his orthodox upbringing, never imagined that one act of pity-offering a stranger shelter-would dismantle the very world he was raised to protect. As love defies centuries of prejudice, Vikash and Arundhati's union sparks both redemption and ruin. Exiled by family and tormented by tragedy, they flee to America, searching for peace that remains just out of reach. Between the guidance of a scandal-scarred mentor, the temptations of youth, and the ghosts of caste and shame, their son Shiva must grapple with the fractured legacies of identity, rebellion, and faith. Sweeping from Chennai's narrow alleys to the lonely streets of suburban America, this is a story of forbidden love, inherited trauma, and the haunting weight of the past. A bold exploration of caste, desire, and redemption, it asks how far we can run from who we are-and how deeply love can wound and heal.
