I loved the character of Anjali. She was such a great heroine. She was realistic in the way she was hesitant in the beginning to get on board with something that was going to make her uncomfortable - she had to get rid of her clothes and make herself stand out in the crowd AND fear for her mother's life. But once she understood what was really happening, she became devoted to the movement, even, at times, leading the adults. | I loved the character of Anjali. She was such a great heroine.

− | This story has a lot to say about the Hindu caste system and those considered to be at the bottom - Untouchables or Dalits. I found that aspect of the story fascinating. This story has a great message about letting go of prejudice and seeing people for who they are and not what makes them different. The riots between the Hindus and Muslims at this time are also touched on. I think The Night Diary by Veera Hiranandani would be a great follow-up to this story! | + | This story has a lot to say about the Hindu caste system and those considered to be at the bottom - Untouchables or Dalits.
