The First dalit autobiographyin Pubjabi to appear in English, Changiya Rukh` means a tree lopped from the top, slashed and dwarfed, balbir madhopuri uses it as a metaphor for the dalit robbed by a tradition that places very sixth indian beyond touchability set in the village of madhopur in Pubjab. the work leads most centrally to the question of how a man conducts himself among people who either do not understand him or would like to see him in the slush where they think he belongs,. madhopuri`s vision is both melancholy and honest as he captures and sensitively portrays the plight of his community despite all constitutional and legislative measures. but in the end, this real life story of a dalit`s rise from bonded labourhood to the editorshiop of a socio-economic journal is one of triumph of resistance, of achievement, and of hope.
