A novel by Rohinton Mistry, A Fine Balance, helped me begin to know what questions I even needed to start to ask about caste. I don't in any way mean to devalue this important discussion, or to lessen the importance of non fiction; but I would be curious to know if others, who know more about caste than I do, and might have read the book, feel that well written, accurate (true to its locale/people) fiction can work well as a vehicle for learning.
