Koogai.



Set in the Tirunelveli-Koyilpatti region of Tamil Nadu, this is a perceptive chronicle of the Dalit experience. In this tale of subjugation and resistance, Koogai, the bird, acquires epic proportions as it soars through the fault lines of Dalit intercaste dynamics to become an authentic, contemporary myth.
