About this book

समाजातील ज्या घटकांवर पिढ्यान् पिढ्या अन्याय झाला, त्या घटकांना न्याय्य वागणूक मिळावी, म्हणून भारतीय संविधानाने अनुसूचित जाती- जमाती अत्याचार प्रतिबंधक कायदा पारित केला. अल्पसंख्यांक समाजाच्या रक्षणासाठीही विशेषत्वाने कायदे करण्यात आले. त्यामुळे त्या त्या समाज घटकांचे अवमानकारक उल्लेख कायद्याच्या कचाट्यात आपसूकच आले. पण शब्दकोशासारख्या भाषिक वैभवामध्ये जातिवाचक उल्लेख अर्थासह दिल्याने कोणाचा अपमान होऊ शकतो? भावना दुखावतात? भाषांवर निरतिशय प्रेम असलेल्या एका तज्ज्ञाने शब्दकोशातील 'ते' सहा शब्द वगळले जाऊ नयेत, म्हणून दिलेल्या कायदेशीर लढ्याचे चित्रण करणारी ही सामाजिक कादंबरी आहे.

The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act was enacted by the Indian Constitution to ensure justice and fair treatment for communities that have suffered generations of discrimination and oppression. Special laws have also been introduced to protect minority communities. As a result, derogatory references to such social groups have naturally come under legal scrutiny.

However, can anyone truly be insulted or offended when caste-related terms are included with their meanings in a dictionary, which is itself a repository of linguistic heritage and knowledge?

This social novel portrays the legal battle fought by a language expert with a deep love for languages, who sought to prevent the removal of six specific words from a dictionary. Through this struggle, the novel explores the complex intersection of language, law, social justice, and freedom of expression.
