5.0
A famous novel in Dalit Literature, Untouchable Spring deserves all the praise. It's a heart-wrenching story, steeped in caste violence and unfortunately, still reflective of India's caste issue. Through memory and third person narration, it follows five generations of a family of Dalits that converts to Christianity (not a spoiler). The past and present are not at war; they come together to create this finely woven tale.
This book will rip you to shreds, ask you to examine all the pieces, and then fill you with so many emotions that you're left sobbing on the floor.
