Society and Death...A Death or a Murder? is a non-fiction narrative written by Sonal Priya that depicts the harsh realities faced by individuals hailing from middle-class or brown families. The novel serves as a reminder that instead of succumbing to societal expectations and conforming to its narrow perspectives, individuals should empower their loved ones to pursue their dreams and attain their aspirations. It advocates the notion that, in times of need society will never come to us for support but those whose ambitions people compromises for the sake of society's thinking, will only allies with us. This thought-provoking work exposes the labor of society as one primarily focused on passing judgments, engaging in mockery, indulging in backbiting, and attempting to shape individuals according to their superficial standards. Society's opinions, often devoid of substance, should take a back seat to the paramount importance of nurturing the dreams and visions of our own people. Society's fleeting contentment should not take precedence over the fulfillment of personal aspirations.

They were regretting to allow her to take admission in that college. Now, they touch that it was their principal error and they should have attended to the society by not consenting her to go there. Yet, nobody in the society is acknowledged about Riya’s lover but the piercingly her family nags her, everybody in the society get to know about the stuff and they used to say wicked words about her and defame her and her family. Every time when Riya's family come to know that people were exchanging immoral about them, they again reprimand her a lot. Because of all these slowly and gradually she’s growing into depression. Later, they decide that they will get her married. Hearing all this, she conferences to her brother, who had run away from home a few years ago seeing his family influencing with the perceptions of the society and daunting restrictions on him and now he subsists in Jaipur and is a renowned interior designer. He asks her to originate to Jaipur anyhow and also promised that he’ll let her study further. Riya stabs to elope but her family clasps her and forcefully get her married within a month.

Respect is very vital and it is given to any person by their deeds and not by getting influenced and impending to the words of society and compromising the dreams and pleasures of anybody. People will voice evil because their work is to voice evil to others, judge them and feel jealous in the pleasure of others but why should we compromise our passion and visions because of the society’s perceptions and judgements? The main reason for all these is generation break. Those who modify themselves with time and admit the generation, they never fall into the trap of society but those who are not able to revolve themselves with time, they originate in the words of the society. It is not the fault of these people at all. These people are very naive. They are just terrified that they may not be battered in the society and they overlook that only those people will sustenance them in need, whose contentment they are negotiating for the sake of the society and that veneration comes from good work and not by influencing by the society’s perception.
