| Abstract | This paper highlights the plight of the sufferings of the common man during the Emergency period (1975-77) which was declared by Mrs. Indira Gandhi who was the Prime Minister during that period. The paper narrates the life of two tailors, Omprakash Darji and Ishvar, during the Emergency period and how they were affected by the Emergency excesses. A Fine Balance is perhaps Mistry's most successful work so far. It depicts the story of four characters Dina, Ishvar, Omprakash and Maneck Kohlah. It portrays the effect of Mrs. Gandhi's Emergency on these characters. The two tailors go through extraordinarily difficult circumstances in life; from withstanding pennilessness to the unbearable torture by the government on them, leaving their lives irreparably jeopardised. The paper focuses on the tailors' as being scapegoats of Mrs. Gandhi's Family Planning and City Beautification Programmes. |
