Chasing Dignity

By Dr. Rachhpal Sahota

Book Overview

Set in Punjab in the 1980s and 90s, Chasing Dignity is the story of a young outcaste boy who sets out to succeed in an intolerant Indian society. When Jaggi begins school, no one expects him to make it through primary school, including his teacher. However, his proud mother is determined to help her son succeed, despite their low caste. The story weaves through the centuries-old caste-based social structure that still dominates Indian society. Along the way, Jaggi crosses paths with several strong-willed men and women who defy the social norms and help him along the way. But what does success mean for him? Can he achieve it, or does it even exist?
