Sanatan by Sharankumar Limbale delves into the deep-seated issues faced by marginalized communities, particularly the Dalits and indigenous people, within the context of Hindu society. The novel explores the historical and ongoing injustices these communities have endured, highlighting the systemic neglect and exploitation that have left them in poverty and ignorance for centuries. Through its narrative, the book urges a reckoning with this past and calls for a thorough examination of the displacement and suffering experienced by these groups. It emphasizes the need for acknowledgment and redress, while also pointing out that addressing the plight of one community is not synonymous with addressing the entire nation's issues. Sanatan seeks to shed light on the unique struggles of Dalits, who have been ostracized and deemed impure across various religions, regions, languages, and cultures.
