I'm not sure which poem you're referring to because you didn't provide any context or hint. If you can provide more information or specify the word you are looking for, I will try my best to help you find the second half of it.
For books on the Indian caste system, you can refer to the following examples:
The Indian Caste System: History, Present and Future ·Yuval Noah Harari
The Caste System: A Myth ·Max (black leather manual)
The Glory of India: The Story of the Caste System Raymond Gu Cheng
Caste System: The History and Current Situation of Indian Society ·Atalkardkar
The Caste System in India: A Modern Story ·Chopra (A Shivini Chopra)
These books explored the history, present and future of the Indian caste system, as well as its impact on Indian society, culture and politics. In addition to books, one could also read relevant academic papers, news reports, and social media content to gain an in-depth understanding of the current situation and influence of the Indian caste system.
It depends on the content and style of the book. If it's based on real events or facts, it's likely nonfiction. But if it's imaginative and created from the author's imagination, it's probably fiction.
" Half the River Sways, Half the River Red " was a poem by Bai Juyi. It depicted the scenery of the river under the setting sun. The word "Sese" in the poem originally referred to a kind of green gem, used to describe the green color of the river. The meaning of the poem was that under the setting sun, the setting sun spread over the river. Half of the river was deep green, and the other half was red. Through the description of the natural scenery, this poem created a harmonious and peaceful mood of the autumn night.
One famous caste novel could be 'Untouchable' by Mulk Raj Anand. It delves into the life of a sweeper, a so - called 'untouchable' in the caste system, and shows the harsh realities, discrimination and social inequality they face. It's a powerful exploration of the caste - based oppression in India.
The following is the full text of Hai Zi's Half-Poem:
Half a poem
night
I sit alone on the threshold
Looking at the cold sky
myriad of thoughts
my poetry
It's just half a poem
The dark night gives life
Burning in the cold
This is a half-finished poem
incomplete
Yet exuding the breath of life
It burns in the dark
Warming my heart
Half a poem
just like a person
Cut in half
Leaving a gap in the middle
Yet exuding the power of life
in the dark
I feel its warmth
Just like my thoughts
Burning in the cold
my poetry
It's just half a poem
But it still exudes the breath of life
Burning in the dark
Warming my heart
Well, in Indian novels, caste can be a central theme. It might be presented through characters who are either oppressed or privileged because of their caste. Class is also intertwined. High - class characters might look down on those from lower classes. Some novels show how caste and class boundaries are difficult to break. For instance, a character from a lower caste may face numerous obstacles when trying to enter a higher - class or caste - dominated field, like politics or business. This reflects the real - life situation in India to some extent.
