This is an attempt at a contemporary, UK based adaptation of Nina Simone's Four Women and a comment upon privilege and marginalisation. 

The story follows four British women of colour, four non white women across seven weeks that will prove to be fairly pivotal in their journeys of self discovery and ultimately a lesson in how we are so much easier to rule when we are divided.

Lakshmi Rajkumar, a bright yet introspective Indian teenager, has always lived between two worlds. Born in India and raised in Japan, her life is a careful balancing act between two cultures. Her grandmother, however, forbids her from immersing herself in Japanese traditions, insisting she remain tethered to her Indian roots. This strict guidance leads Lakshmi to attend an Indian girls' school on Japanese soil, a sanctuary of familiarity within an alien environment. But everything changes when unforeseen circumstances force Lakshmi to transfer to a Japanese high school. To her shock, she is placed in an all-male class-an arrangement as bewildering as it is challenging. Lakshmi's orderly world is thrown into disarray, and for the first time, she is exposed to perspectives and experiences vastly different from her sheltered upbringing. At first, Lakshmi struggles to fit in, her identity caught between rebellion and conformity. She questions the meaning of individuality in a society that prizes uniformity, wrestling with the idea of whether following the crowd is a betrayal of her true self or simply a means of survival. However, through unexpected friendships and clashes of culture, Lakshmi begins to uncover hidden facets of her identity. She discovers that her life, once perceived as dull and colorless, is rich with nuance and potential. As she navigates this uncharted territory, Lakshmi learns that individuality isn't about rejecting everything around you, nor is it about blind assimilation-it's about finding balance and authenticity in a complex world. Her journey is one of self-discovery, where every challenge reveals a new layer of her identity and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to live as her own person.

The most magical fragrance of every entities soul which continues to infatuate even beyond the dormitories of heaven and hell. I nikhil parekh am truly grateful to every bit of Blackness enshrouding me, which has made me a magician to express the innermost realms of my soul into poetic verse on blank paper. Black is beautiful. Black triumphs till beyond eternity. Black is the most inscrutably tantalizing fabric of existence. God bless Black. Parekh brings to the fore various evils lingering in the society and tries to cure them offering the balm of poetry. The poems contained within are starkly explicit and poignantly debate on various global social causes like female foeticide, blindness, smoking, molestation, adopting the girl child, hiv-aids discrimination.etc. In a battle of adroit analogies the poet emphatically portrays even the tiniest of social evil and urges mankind to rise above the same. Poetically he tries to unite hearts all across the Universe in the spirit of love, oneness and compassion to give birth to a renaissance against evil and unjustness. This victorious concoction of poems would appeal to all those who've so selflessly fought for a social cause and to uproot evil forever from the fabric of society.
