Samskara captured a lot of attention when screened, on account of its story. Girish Karnad played the main character of Praneshacharya, the brahmin. Movie won several awards.
Late to the party here. I wrote a college paper on this novel - I think I used the mouthful word tergiversation to describe Praneshacharya's departure from the village. (From the Latin "back turning" or "to turn one's back"). I now regret using such an unnecessarily scholastic word. But I still feel this turning/evasive quality pervades the novel. Thanks for bringing it back to mind!

Thanks, Manohar uncle. I intend to watch the film soon and will write about it, too!

Wow! What a lovely word! You've made my January. I can't wait to routinely begin tergiversating in my daily life!
