The novella deals with the resilience of the human spirit. A group of disparate individuals surmount personal hostilities as the survival of the larger group becomes more important than the survival of individual members.

Description
Poverty, debt, and starvation are the conditions that define the existence of a group of labourers. As outcastes they face extreme resentment from other village folk and journey to a faraway place in search of sustenance. Once there, another series of nightmarish events unfolds and their lives continue to mirror the age-old clash between the wealthy and the downtrodden. In a desperate attempt to return home, the group escapes to a forest where it encounters nature which is no longer benign. Will this group complete its odyssey? Or is ‘home’ a mere illusion, forever beyond reach? A hard-hitting tale of trauma, loss, and the innate will to survive, Aranyakand is a sensitive and realistic portrayal of the lives of the oppressed.
