Set in India during the early 20th century, the story follows the life of a young Hindu boy named Rama who is born into a family of sandalwood workers. Rama's father dies when he is young, leaving him to take on the responsibility of providing for his family. Despite the challenges that he faces, Rama is determined to succeed and become a skilled worker in the sandalwood industry. He works hard and gains the respect of his fellow workers, but his ambitions are threatened by the arrival of a British plantation owner who seeks to exploit the workers for his own gain. As Rama struggles to protect his community and their way of life, he also finds himself drawn to a young woman named Lila, who is the daughter of a wealthy landowner. The two come from very different backgrounds, but their love for each other is strong. Throughout the novel, Pickthall explores themes of class, race, and colonialism, as well as the struggles of ordinary people to survive and thrive in a changing world. The Worker In Sandalwood is a powerful and moving story that offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of India.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
