Indians used the novel as a powerful medium to criticize what they considered defects in their society and to suggest cures.
The problem of caste was included in Indian novels for this same purpose.
Chandu Menon's 'Indulekha`, a love story based on the lines of Benjamin Disraeli's novel 'Henrietta Temple', is a remark upon the marriage practices of upper-caste Hindus in Kerala.
Through the characterizations of his main characters, the author (himself a member of an 'upper caste') pits the impolite and immoral Nambuthiri Brahmins against the educated and modern Nayars.
