The Poisoned Wide portrays a Dalit's psychology with a passive acceptance of his circumstances and his humble submission to the sordid and wretched conditions surrounding it, together with the resistance which the younger generation empowers through education reflects. It represents the clash of the Dalit re-awakening with the traditional belief system that is part and parcel of India's social hierarchy.
Explanation:
- Yetalya Aja, a Mahar is dominated by the upper caste for a long time. His condition never troubled him and he devoted himself to his destiny and life. Without a voice of dissent, he is far away from expectations.
- Nevertheless, Mhadeva, his grandson, wouldn't have been there to help him in his drudgery of winnowing and treading at the thrashing floor. The grandson is, by the way, city-born and was educated. The Dalits lead an oppressed life and belong to the ostracosed one is a stigma for society
- In the early part of the day, Bapu Patil says that Yetalya Aja, a Dalit, will invite bad events into his life. But Yetalya Aja displayed no resistance against this provocation because the Dalit community has long passively embraced a false notion of it.
- There was one such incident where where dalits were held responsible for the drying up of the River Chandrabhaga. They are conisdered equal to chappals. Bapu Patil then say that everyone (here referring to Dalit Yetalya) in his proper place/position. Though this situation was running through ages it faces a query from Mhadeva who asks what was that position and what was Patil talking about,and about whose position?To this Patil says that the hierarchy or position was God’s decree and needs to be abided
- Bapu Patil denounces the education of dalits and preaches thaT even if a Mahar/Mang is educated, no one would call him a Brahmin and he would be considered only a Mahar ieven if he passes L.L.B and becomes a barrister. Though Mhadeva tried to score BapuPatil, he ceded to his grandfather's warning and took the hoe in disdain. The uprising of Mhadeva was smothered because of the inability of Bapu Patil to accept a Dalit's repression.
- The strip of rebellion in Mhadeva was high and he tried to protect his grandfather against the harassment of Bapu Patil, who observed and shouted, that he always responded, a pose that was never before displayed by Dalit. This was an offense to Bapu Patil and he tormented them for their boldness, by not giving them any jowar, not even after their work had been completed
- The age-old habit of considering them' untouchable,' results in the psychology of passive submission to the common situations of dalits. Whatever the accursed traditions they still follow. Yetalya Aja would have been able to oppose Bapu Patil's treatment, but for his pessimism he would never.
- Such helplessness derives from the denial of one's own dignity as a human being and the slavery of inherited land rights. It has never been known to people like Yetalya that they can also be ' vehicles for revolution, reform, raising awareness, fighting and social engagement.
- Mhadeva recognized this challenge because he was educated and region. Therefore, he persuaded his grandfather to awaken to free himself from land bonds and to abandon his demand for food from the upper class, because "the crumbs that they provide make us slaves." This realization was significant, because it was the key to liberty.
- The consequent change that Yetalya had before dying the last words that he said his grandson were "Do not depend on our caste's age-old bread. Have as much education as possible. Take this cursed bread out of Mahars' mouths. The poisonous bread would eventually destroy man's humanity".
