Untouchables

Read the book "Untouchables" by Narendra Jadhav. Provides a glimpse into the caste structure related to Mahars in Maharashtra. I am sure reading it in Marathi would be a better experience as all the songs are lost in the English version. I got especially interested in Mariaai, the god that is worshipped in the south as Mariaatha or Mariamma. I have personally seen the struggle of people as they try to balance their pull towards two religions. But I guess it doesnt really matter in big cities.
