Summary

Winner of India’s highest honor the prestigious Sahitya Akademi Award for the year 2018 Postbox no. 203 Naalasopara by noted writer Chitra Mudgal is a heart wrenching tale that gazes into the darkness of our hearts; a physical and social space of harrowing and horrendous suffering; a source of untold agonies and atrocities. 
It is a story of a trangender boy Vinod and his struggle to live a life of dignity in a society which is preconditioned to treating transgenders with contempt. But Vinod is every marginalised human being who wants to carve a space for himself, his struggle is every man's struggle, every women's struggle, every child who is denied his being, in short he is every one of us struggling against the dehumanising state of affairs that from the very outset rejects you as an equal. 
Politicians who wants to exploit you, social activist and NGO's who want to use you for their own nefarious end, the novel cuts through all this and takes your into the heart of darkness. 
This novel created a storm when it was first published in 2016.
