Justify the title of In Custody in detail.

Desai's title, In Custody, serves to illustrate the feelings of the characters... their sense of being entrapped within India's caste system, and the lack of mobility within the system. Deven feels trapped by both his job and his marriage. He also resents the way he is defined by society by his social status. Desai's use of the title, In Custody, compares Deven's feeling of entrapment to actual incarceration.
