• Dr. V. Asha Kumari

In A Fine Balance, Mistry’s literary and aesthetic sensibility of compassion for the dispossessed and the poor acquires larger political overtones as he proceeds to document the cruelties of urban and rural India. All his characters, major and minor, become representative of the struggle to maintain a stability against the irrationality of the real. The irrationality is created the misuse of power. Mistry’s novels are not grounded in a timeless present. In all three novels, precise historical reality forms the backdrop to his narrative. Such a Long Journey is set at the time of Pakistan’s war with Bangladesh; A Fine Balance is set during Indira Gandhi’s Emergency and Family Matters is set in post-1992 (the year of the Babri Masjid Crisis) India.
