Roder Dike by Suman Mahanti [Hardcover]

Amolkanti, a 30-year-old unemployed youth, is known to everyone by the nickname Ashru. People around him consider him to be half-crazy. In his bewildered, directionless life, there is no ray of hope. Out of frustration and anger, he mocks and taunts people around him for pleasure. He comes into contact with the bubbly Natasha and the resilient village girl Promita, and gradually his life starts to intertwine with many others. He begins to move towards self-reliance. Love comes, leaves its touch, and goes away. Ashru realizes that life extends beyond love. Unknowingly, life takes a turn towards the light, and Amolkanti, also known as Ashru, finds signals of transformation in the bright, sunny fields.
