God's Children by Supraja Seshadri.
Supraja, a 15 year old girl, goes to school in Jakarta. Supraja was assigned a school project to write an essay in first person, as someone from a particular moment in our history. The assignment was to narrate about a person's society, culture, economy at any given time in history. She decided to write about a schedule caste person's point of view. Her inspiration was the book "Hinduism Rediscovered" on caste system and Sri Ramanuja's life history. Needless to say her essay was much appreciated by her teachers and she received full credit. Just like her teachers we were bowled over by her inspirational essay and have decided to publish it on India Forum. Kindly post some words of encouragement and we will pass it on to her. Thankyou.
