Peripheries are produced by every community. A society and nation state's agency and discourse are controlled by the prevailing sociocultural and hierarchical power structures (national, patriarchal, or both), which silences and marginalizes some segments of the population. These oppressive and dominating practices have, nevertheless, always been contested. Subcultures existence and expression can be interpreted as a form of critique of the prevailing national and societal structures. This essay examines the book The Book of Destruction by Malayalam author P Sachidanandan (Anand) and makes the case that the book offers a counterargument to state-sponsored violence by depicting the Thugee subculture.
