OMG, Fiza.... thank you for this beautiful message! 💜
Reading Caste Metal this morning was one of those experiences that just... stops you in your tracks. You're one of those rare authors who doesn't just tell a story, you make you feel the weight of it.
The review is coming, I promise, but I needed to say thank you first, for writing stories that matter and for making sure voices like Cacchar's get heard. 🙏

Thank you for invariably helping (with your 5 star rating) my social work here in Mumbai, India, with our lower caste brethren or Dalit Bahujan Community and in their daily emancipation process, especially through literature and awareness creation, meetings and education. You have invariably also helped create, with your 5-star rating, an awareness in the Western World of the continuing existence of Caste-based discrimination in India since time immemorial, which was the ultimate aim of this social issue fiction short story.
Thank you for helping me today through 'Caste Metal' to create an awareness about a reality that is often ignored or overlooked in Indian fiction - but which is a reality worse than a thorn in our side in India. Cacchar was lucky in this story - but in reality, in the India of 1877 in Pune, no one was ever lucky! You know then how it would have ended for a real Cacchar. May God bless you abundantly and may total emancipation take place ASAP. Pray for my social work with our Dalits here in Mumbai, India. The harvest of pain and agony is plenty but the workers are few - pray that the good Lord sends more workers into this harvest of centuries of pain.
God be with you always! Hope you get to see this. <3 :) :D <3
