Even the language was influenced by this concept and usages like 'taming the nature' were coined as a result. All these indicated the victory of human beings. 'Jalanayani' shows the deep crack developed in the relationship between humans and nature," Sarah Joseph said.

The novel is a mirror held against the present day life. It is very hard to portray real life events in novels.
