The Big Heart
Ananta, a coppersmith of the thathiar caste in Amritsar, watches new factories put his guild's hand trade out of use and argues, against everyone he grew up among, that the machines are not the enemy. His caste brothers want them broken; the mill owner wants only cheap hands. A single day in a craft quarter, drawn from the trade Anand's own family had left.
