Brilliant short stories, translated from the hindi, exploring lives of dalit people in modern India. Girls facing harassment on the way to school, students accused of "unfair" positive discrimination, and in the final story, the sharp impact of lockdown on those without a financial cushion.

Recommended.

Growing up, she had felt herself turn into a body as everyone, all the men around her, seemed to turn into pairs of eyes. No matter how much she tried to cover herself up, she would still feel their eyes upon her.
