What if the universe itself was built on an unfair system?
Anika dreams of escaping her small village and becoming famous. Instead, she finds herself at the center of an extraordinary adventure that stretches across galaxies, challenges everything she believes, and forces her to confront a world built on inequality.
When a mysterious samurai warrior enters her life, Anika and her younger brother Ramji are drawn into the Backward Galaxy—a strange universe filled with demons, cricket warriors, ancient secrets, futuristic technology, and powerful forces determined to keep some people at the bottom.
But the universe has made a mistake.
The people it calls “Born Losers” are about to fight back.
Some are born into power.
Others are born to challenge it.
From magical ghungroos and samurai battles to cricket heroes and cosmic conspiracies, every chapter introduces a world stranger—and more meaningful—than the last.
A determined teenager who dreams of a bigger life and refuses to accept the limits placed upon her.
Her clever younger brother whose courage often appears when it is needed most.
Together, they must face impossible odds, uncover hidden truths, and challenge a system that spans entire galaxies.
Using humour, imagination, mythology, and science fiction, the novel explores themes of equality, self-respect, social justice, and the courage to challenge unfair systems.
