“The Patriarch” by K. M. Sindhushree tells the story of a boy who confidently acts on his beliefs that he often forgets to question the ethical and moral implications of his actions. It is a story that shows how people in power defend their recklessness, claiming it is their duty and responsibility to act in a certain way.
