À propos de cet e-book
"A fiction by the renowned author Swati Chandorkar, unfolds a life-style before us, giving us an opportunity to go through it, feel it and ponder over it.This story takes place in a small village which is away from the progress of this new world. With its very few homes, the atmosphere in this village is quite a conservative one. The typical village culture based on the caste system is sketched here.Dattu Pujari is a young Brahmin who lives in this village with his mother, wife and the only son. A person with noble thoughts and concern for all teaches his wife the aspects of humanity. He is the only person who is able to perform the last rituals which he considers to be very holy. For him, death is as sacred and blessed as birth. Hence, he performs these rituals whole heartedly. He is paid very less for these services but yet prefers to carry on doing what is rightful according to him.There is one small temple of Lord Ganesha in the village, after which the village is named as Ganeshpur. Dattu performs the pooja in this temple as well. The remaining 4-5 Brahmin families do not approve of Dattu performing pooja as he is performing the last rituals for all devoid of caste and religion. They tell him to stop offering his services to those people, which he refuses. He believes that when death does not differentiate on the basis of caste then why should human do so? The other Brahmin families start criticizing him at every chance.The Patil of the village is a very good person at heart. This childless person considers his village as his child and looks lovingly upon the village. He strives hard for the betterment of the village. With the help of Dattu he improves the village slowly and steadily. Electricity, school, health clinic and many other facilities reach the village with the joint efforts of the Patil and Dattu. But with these facilities also enter many people in the village. Dattu’s pooja in the Ganesh temple is banned systematically. He and his family are ignored by all. His only son starts hating him. Yet, Dattu does not stop offering his services. He is on the verge of losing his only son. His conscience does not leave him though.How does he face the humiliation? What makes him stick to his principles?‘Pavitram’, a facet of mankind described like never before."
