His classmate and academic rival, Nirmal, is deeply troubled by Ashim's behaviour and decides to investigate. As Nirmal discovers more about Ashim's circumstances, a friendship as pure as the bakul flower blooms that stands its ground against the harsh realities of growing up in rural Assam. A heartwarming coming-of-age tale, the book celebrates friendship, hope and determination as it unravels the devastating effects of poverty and of an education system that has failed the ones who need it the most- the misfits and outcasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kalita Mrinal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143458574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143458579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin YA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Kalita Mrinal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45482717905151,"sku":"9780143458579","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56e8c1e8-8ae8-4b1b-8865-19f4b0de3cf1.jpg?v=1715999332","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-the-bakul-tree-kalita-mrinal-9780143458579","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
