      • Alliteration- The repetition of the same consonant sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words, creating a rhythmic effect.  It can be seen in phrases like, “Algorithm advocated…”, “awaiting another”, “Make her marry”, etc.

      • Anaphora- Anaphora is a rhetorical device in which a word or phrase is repeated at the beginning of successive clauses, phrases, or sentences. The word “step” is repeated several times in order to mirror an actual computer algorithm.

      • Symbolism- Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities, often adding deeper layers of meaning to the text. The algorithm is a symbol of a political act of erasure done to the Shudra community and to convert their identities altogether.
