The Red Footsteps

The sufferings of the working class in India have largely remained
undocumented. The Malayalam novel �Chuvanna Kaladikal�
narrates the struggles of workers in Kalady plantation and the
decisive intervention by AKG in their fight for existence and
justice. Though the lives of the working classes have become
the theme of many novels, this is the first novel based on the life
of plantation workers. It not only throws light on the sufferings
undergone by the workers, but reflects the energy imparted by
AKG�s intervention. It shows his determination to save the
workers, even while his health was deteriorating.
The original book is a Malayalam novel written by C. R. Das.
Translated to English by Ajith Kumar. B and Edited by Shiny
Ajit.
