untouchable the father of babe

Ravi scrolled through posts earning thousands, yet his daughter studied Kannadasan's verses by lamplight. When archaeologists unearthed Keeladi's ancient pottery, he wept—proof their ancestors wrote history before "civilization" named them untouchable. He couldn't survive the irony: digital coins flowed easily, but society's oldest wounds remained unhealed. His father's weathered hands had built roads no one credited. Ravi kissed his daughter's forehead as she read forgotten Tamil wisdom aloud. "Above and beyond poverty," she whispered, "our people endured." He avoided bitterness, choosing instead to document their story, reclaiming what ancestors had always known: they were never less.
