Parai reveals the status of Dalit community in India with the South Indian village Siruthondamadevi as a microcosm of caste slavery. Siruthondamadevi, a nondescript village situated in Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu, India, continues to spread lies to the official pamphleteering that the atrocities against minorities are a thing of the past. Ninety percent of the women in the colony making a clean breast on the sexual violence against them and their men helplessly acknowledging the oppressions to the camera sent a shockwave to the constitution, laws, bureaucracy and the civil society.
