Basthi is a powerful anthology that confronts systemic inequalities while championing the values of fraternity and social justice. Each story delves deeply into the struggles and vulnerabilities experienced by marginalized communities, particularly focusing on the trans and Dalit communities, shedding light on their lived realities. The collection not only amplifies their voices but also challenges entrenched prejudices, urging readers to reflect on the need for greater inclusion and equality.
