VARNA

"Varna" which translates to "Caste" in Kannada, is a short story based in a small village from the coastal region of Karnataka. The plot revolves around Basava, a naive cattleman who faces societal inequality on a regular basis and his inability to express his plight due to his held-back introverted nature. It emphasises the generation gap and discriminative practises contrary to the bonding of Basava and his close companion Mohana, whose friendship is beyond racial and cultural barriers.
