The Face of Silence is a novel written by Dhan Gopal Mukerji. The story revolves around the life of a young Indian boy named Rama, who is born deaf and mute. The novel explores the struggles and challenges that Rama faces in a society that views disability as a curse.Rama's father, a wealthy landowner, is ashamed of his son's disability and refuses to acknowledge him as his own. Rama's mother, on the other hand, is loving and supportive, and she teaches him how to communicate using sign language.As Rama grows older, he becomes increasingly aware of the discrimination and prejudices that he faces. He is denied an education and is forced to work as a laborer on his father's farm. Despite these challenges, Rama remains resilient and determined to live a meaningful life.The novel also explores the themes of love, friendship, and the power of communication. Rama forms a deep bond with a young girl named Leela, who also faces discrimination due to her lower caste status. Together, they navigate the complexities of their society and find solace in their shared experiences.Overall, The Face of Silence is a powerful and poignant novel that sheds light on the experiences of individuals with disabilities in India. It is a testament to the human spirit and the resilience of those who face adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
