The Hari community has been depicted as the roots and reality of the caste system in our society. They are still oppressed.

No full textBhagirath Misra, a renowned novelist of the post-independence era, has centered his novel around the marginalized people of society. One of his popular novels based on the life of the marginalized people is \u27Aarkathi\u27 (1993). The novel \u27Aarkathi\u27 tells the story of how the life, livelihood and culture of marginalized Basu-Shabar1 have become commodities for the selfish, self-serving and exploitative human beings. Novelist Bhagirath Misra narrates the painful tale of how the once simple forest-dwelling people, confined to their lives and livelihoods were exploited first by Ranglal and later by Cathy Bird and Rajiv, bringing to the forefront characters like Kishto Mullick, Shridhar Mullick, Kanai Digar, Savitri, Roopmati and Rangi. The novel \u27Aarkathi\u27 serves as a document of the oppression faced by the bearers and carriers of indigenous culture at the hands of the merchants of culture2 and slave trader3. However, by the end of the novel, a picture of the awakening of the forest dwellers4 also emerges. The resistance to the powerful, rather than surrendering to their rule and exploitation5, has given a unique dimension to the characters of the novel created by Bhagirath Misra
