Kamala Markandaya's some of the fictions written on the background of British ruled India present the rural India and the outcry of the rustic people. The terror of technology encroaches the villages and plight of rural people is unbearable. Establishment of the Tannery in the village of of Rukmani shows us how introduction of Industrialization forces the villagers to give up their traditional livelihood. The village people are forced to go to the city and spend their lives in slums. The flow of village life has been portrayed realistically with an apprehension of bad impact of the industrial revolution.
