The novel is a very true pen picture of society. Though Sarat chose to call it Polli Shomaj, I think it holds true for every society, be it in a hip city or a satellite town. People are essentially self centered and opportunists and often altruism is looked down upon as a waste of one’s time and effort. The kind man becomes the butt of cruel jokes and an out-caste, till he is able to prove his prowess, by constant sacrifice. But, can human race really survive without such saintly creatures, is a question that requires much pondering.
