I Have Become The Tide Book Information:

Hariharan asks when the tide will turn to make this dream real. Hundreds of years ago, chikka, son of a cattle Skinner, finds a home in anandagrama, among people who believe everyone is equal; people whose prayer is inseparable from song and work, The river and the land, friendship and love. Chikka becomes chikkiah the washerwoman who sings by his beloved river. But the anandagrama movement against caste is torn apart, and its men and women slaughtered or forced to flee. In the present day, Professor Krishna makes a discovery. The saint-singer Kannada is none other than the son of chikkiah. The poets and fighters of anandagrama have been forgotten; kannadeva has been whitewashed into a casteless Hindu saint. Professor Krishna reconstructs many lives of resistance from his findings in a palm-leaf manuscript. But will the bigots, armed with bullets, bombs and hit-lists, let scholars and poets do what they must? Three Dalit studentsasha, Ravi and satyadream of a future that will let them and their families live with dignity, just like everyone else. From chikkiahs story to theirs, a few things may have changed, but too much has remained the same. Three distinctive narratives intertwine past and present in compelling ways to raise an urgent voice against the cruelties of caste, and the destructive forces that crush dissent. But they also celebrate the joy of resistance, the redemptive beauty of words, and the courage to be found in friendship and love. I have become the tide is deeply political, but it never loses sight of humour, tendernessor the human spirit.
