They keep a safe distance from the ‘main stream’ society as they are not able to compromise with the consumerist and competitive world. This Novelette The Gentle Farmer is about the average men and women of the so called civilized world. The gentle farmer named ALBOMO by contrast makes me realize the nature of model people to build model communities. People like Albomo as contrasts inspire me to write the above Novelette. All the characters in the story, are fictitious and the story which is imagined to have occurred during the last years of the British rule in India is a fiction.
