Acchev by Pundalik Naik
Translated as The Upheaval by Vidya Pai
The novel has been described as one that "describes peasant life in the Ponda [sub-]district and shows what happens when a traditional society that lives by myths and rituals comes into contact with modern mechanised ways of life."
Aart by Jayanti Naik
