M. Viren writes from the cracks — between caste and silence, memory and forgetting, survival and resistance. Raised in a country that often rewrites its past while silencing its margins, his work traces the inner lives of the erased, the unnamed, and the broken-but-breathing.
Puppet Without Strings is his debut novel - a psychological, post-caste narrative that doesn't offer comfort, but confrontation. Blending literary form with political truth, Viren's voice emerges not to decorate pain, but to document its architecture.
He believes stories don’t heal - they haunt, so we never forget.
