I have been reading quite a few books by South Asian authors and the caste system is something that is either conspicuously missing, or glossed over. This was very informative in helping me understand kind of the "other side" of the story, as many books appear to be written from a higher caste lens. NEVER from the perspective of an untouchable. I think this is important, but it's also a bit meandering because it's about a family's real life story over several generations. There's not a PLOT to someone's real life.
