A Fine Balance is Rohinton Mistry’s novel set in mid-1970s India during the Emergency, following four unlikely people whose lives intersect. Dina Dalal, a determined widow; Maneck, a young student; and tailors Ishvar and Omprakash form a fragile household as political repression, caste discrimination, and grinding poverty bear down on them. The book traces their hopes, losses, and small acts of endurance, juxtaposing humanity and compassion with sudden brutality. It is a sweeping, often harrowing portrait of modern India that earned wide critical acclaim for its moral force and storytelling.
