You've written poetry and adult fiction. I'm sure children would be interested in a glimpse into some of visions of India. I'm just finishing up a novel titled Sister of My Heart, about 2 girls who are best friends and grow up in Calcutta, my native city. It's a novel about how women help each other through challenges in their lives. But novel writing isn't necessarily to open a window to other things.
Different people write for different reasons.
Certainly you should write in the way that is meaningful to you. What satisfies me, as a reader and writer, is the chance to experience lives that are very different from mine. For me it is a way to promote understanding in the world among people who would not otherwise know each other at all. That's important for me. Yes, I consider myself a feminist.
