Growing up in Malaysia under brutal Japanese occupation; the chilling circumstances in Sri Lanka the land of his forbears that propelled him to seek employment in the West African states of Sierra Leone and Liberia which changed the contours of his familys life permanently ; the crushing process he had to involuntarily subject himself in order to obtain United States citizenship and from a position of clinical detachment he confronts point blank the twin scourges the pernicious caste system (that is pervasive in his community) and the blankness of the color blind ideology in the United States of America.
