The main characters of this story are Arera and Mukund, who are supported by many other cardinal characters. This story is based on casteism and mainly focuses on the Dalit community, specifically manual scavengers, in India. It not only includes challenges related to casteism for a lower community but also emphasizes the internal battle between acceptance and the external perception, as well as the excessive importance of surnames in society. The beginning of the story finds its plot at school, where Arera and Mukund meet for the first time. The author of this novel attempts to take its readers through exciting realms such as friendship, romance, intimacy, drama, comedy, thrills, suspense, and politics. The story is comprised of several interconnected narratives that are introduced at short intervals, forming a single grand flow with multiple nodes in this journey.

This book combines linguistic and historical approaches with the latest techniques of DNA analysis and shows the insights these offer for every kind of genealogical research. It focuses on British names, tracing their origins to different parts of the British Isles and Europe and revealing how names often remain concentrated in the districts where they first became established centuries ago. In the process the book casts fresh light on the ancient peopling of the British Isles. The authors consider why some names die out while others spread across the globe. They use recent advances in DNA testing to investigate whether particular surnames have single, dual, or multiple origins, and to find out if the various forms of a single name have a common origin. They show how information from DNA can be combined with historical evidence and techniques to distinguish between individuals with the same name and different names with similar spellings, and to identifty the name of the same individual or family spelt in various ways in different times and places. The final chapter of this paperback edition, looking at the use of genetics in historical research, has been updated to include new work on the DNA of Richard III.

Aiming to avoid technical terminology, Richard McKinley provides an introduction to the history of hereditary surnames in Britain from their first appearance to the present day. Devoting a chapter to each of the main categories of name, he enables readers to set the facts they discover about their own ancestry, family history and surnames into the context of general surname development. The author deals with those names that originate in England, Wales and Scotland; and since these tend to have their own distinct histories, he discusses developments in each of the three countries separately, wherever appropriate. The book uses the study of surnames to illuminate social history and draws attention to the complex patterns of population mobility that have always characterized British Society. It also describes regional and class differences in surnames, some features of which survive to our own time.
