The Latur Pattern

By Vivek Kulkarni

Have you ever thought about what happens to those students who fail in their respective academic years? Where do they go? What do they do to earn? Do they settle in life? Does failure haunt them? Do their families accept their failures? How do they react? Do these students get married or not? What happens to their dreams? Is academic excellence only the solution to living a better life? What does our beloved patriarchy do to them? What do they do with their angst?

It is the story of the Indian Education System's other side which is not discussed much especially after the tremendous success of the Latur Pattern model developed and flourished in the 90's. Failed students are not considered part of society. They are knowingly or unknowingly sidelined. This novel sheds light on those marginalized species that have failed in their college days, and are cast aside by society and the education system.

It tells the story of Nitin, Prakash, Ashish, Santosh, Sunil, Deepak, and Vikas all college-going students who have faced oppression. They react by forming an organization. Does that organization help them to fulfill their desires? Is it the only way to come out of their frustration & depression?

This novel doesn't provide a single solution to those who have failed but analyses the socio-education system by asking vital questions such as how much education one needs to live.
