Baloo’s Big Win is an inspiring biography that sheds light on the remarkable journey of Palwankar Baloo, India’s first Dalit cricketer. Set in pre-Independence India, a time when caste discrimination was deeply ingrained, the book takes readers through Baloo’s childhood, his love for cricket, and his persistent struggle to break caste barriers.
One of the most powerful parts of the book is how it shows Baloo’s inner struggles. He often questions the unfairness he faces because of his caste and the untouchability rules of that time. This story not only helps young readers understand the harsh reality of the caste system but also shows Baloo’s strength and bravery in overcoming these social barriers.
