DC Books Golden Jubilee Novel Competition-2024 Special Prize Winner. It is impossible to refer to history by leaving aside the chapters of migration and exodus. The novel tells the story of the identity crisis of the Jewish race living in exile in Mattancherry. This novel is a sketch of Solomon, a Jew from Mattancherry, who follows his own relatives to Israel and wishes to reach Israel once and for all his life becomes an exile. Advancing in the context of Jewish tradition and customs, this novel is the story of those who become exiles by heart rather than those who experience exile by birth. This novel underlines that the Jewry is the birth of man, which must eventually end like a burning papaya. 'Diaspora' accurately marks the land of Kochi, which is closely related to the history and culture of the Jews.
