Book Review of A Fine Balance

A Fine Balance


This book is one of my favorites. Very descriptive of India during the Emergency. It was very heartbreaking to see how people live and cope in dire poverty. Also, mandatory vascetomies the government had ordered was just wrong and ruined many able bodied men. From this book I feel like I have a better sense of how Indian life is day to day.
