The Irrepressibles

About the Book

The Irrepressibles is a story that revolves around how the circumstances of poverty, deprivations, and social stigma force some people into gangsterism, Cultism, debauchery, and demagoguery as a way for attaining that same innate desire in all humans, - the desire to be happy; - a goal which such people feel denied. It beams light on the clandestine activities that go on unabated in student hostels and communes which invariably translate into our socio-political culture. The protagonists, whether heroes or villains, become the elite, members of the ruling class that dictate the policies that shape our society, - a status attained through the pertinacity of struggles.
