I have access to some rare autobiographical documents describing Madhwa brahmin life in Karnataka from about 1850 onwards, and the document shows how attitudes have changed and how Hindus have moved from old attitudes to much more inclusive ones and the reasons for that.
I will post excerpts because I have permission to do that. Ramana I may send you the entire doc as requested - but I am not sure I can do that for everyone. But I will try an describe the life that those people faced. I will need some time.
A narrative is an ongoing process where you lay down your views, your doubts and your experiences - maybe joys of festivals or sorrows at something else to share and document. You may want to share a menu that you like, or the smell of something cooking or the sounds of something happening related to your Hindu home. These are all part of your narrative - and it need not come out in one go.
