| Synopsis: |
'The Glory of Sri Sri Ganesh' shows the lives of the underdogs - the Lachhimas, the Rukmanis, the Mohors and the Haroas -- as a contrast to the lives of their all-powerful overlords-the Medinis and Ganeshes. Lachhima, whose leashed bitterness and anger of a lifetime against Medini and Ganesh is liberated at the end of the novel when Ganesh begs her to save his life, decides to save him, but on her own terms. The title of the work itself becomes a tool for subversion in this sprawling novel, which takes the reader through a multilayered narrative into the socio-economic malaise of post-independence rural India. Mahasweta Devi's corrosive humour and cryptic style are at their best as she takes on issues of agrarian land relations, inter-caste violence, so-called rural development and the position of women in rural India. Considered one of Mahasweta Devi's most important works, this novel was written in 1981. |
