Book Description
The PEN Award–winning chronicle of the Indian diaspora told through the stories of the author’s own family. In this “rich, entertaining and illuminating story,” Minal Hajratwala mixes history, memoir, and reportage to explore the collisions of choice and history that led her family to emigrate from India (San Francisco Chronicle). “Meticulously researched and evocatively written” (The Washington Post), Leaving India looks for answers to the eternal questions that faced not only Hajratwala’s own Indian family but all immigrants, everywhere: Where did we come from? Why did we leave? What did we give up and gain in the process? Beginning with her great-grandfather Motiram’s original flight from British-occupied India to Fiji, where he rose from tailor to department store mogul, Hajratwala follows her ancestors across the twentieth-century to explain how they came to be spread across five continents and nine countries. As she delves into the relationship between personal choice and the great historical forces—British colonialism, apartheid, Gandhi’s salt march, and American immigration policy—that helped shape her family’s experiences, Hajratwala brings to light for the very first time the story of the Indian diaspora. A luminous narrative from “a fine daughter of the continent, bringing insight, intelligence and compassion to the lives and sojourns of her far-flung kin,” Leaving India offers a deeply intimate look at what it means to call more than one part of the world home (Alice Walker).

Not illustrated. 1871 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. 1 N the next day Effie did tell David a story out of her head. She was not asked to go into his room during the morning, but in the course of the afternoon her aunt said to her--'Should you like to come and sit with Davie while I write my letters, Effie? I shall be glad if you will come for a little while, for then I can take my writing into the dressing-room, and he won't feel dull if he has you to talk to.' Upon this Effie got up a little more promptly than she had done the day before, and was soon perched on a chair by Davie's fireside, while Mrs. Leighton placed herself in the dressing-room so that by turning her head she could see, though she could not hear, most of what went on. Effie sat without opening her lips until Mrs. Leighton was safely settled in the adjoining room; then, fixing her eyes on Davie, she opened the conversation. 'Well?' said Effie. As he had no other remark prepared, and probably thought this a good one, Davie said 'Well 1' too; and then there was a little silence, and Effie nodded her head. 'I said I would come, you know, ' was Effie's next remark. 'Yes, I know you did, ' replied Davie. 'And I've got a story all ready, ' said Effie. 'Oh, have you? I'm so glad ' cried Davie. 'It's quite a new one too; I never told it to anybody. But I think I'll get upon the bed before I begin, because that will bring me nearer to you, ' said Effie. 'Oh very well, ' answered Davie. And so Effie got upon the bed. 'Now, that's more comfortable, ' she said, 'isn't it? I always like to sit so--cross-legged--when I tell stories, because they do it in the east.' The reason seemed an odd and insufficient one to Davie, but he said 'Oh ' again, supposing that there was some deep meaning in it--as, indeed, there no doubt w

Book Description
On a summer night in 2014, Padma and Lalli went missing from Katra Sadatganj, an eye-blink of a village in western Uttar Pradesh. Hours later they were found hanging in the orchard behind their home. Who they were, and what had happened to them, was already less important than what their disappearance meant to the people left behind. Slipping deftly behind political maneuvering, caste systems and codes of honor in a village in northern India, The Good Girls returns to the scene of their short lives and shameful deaths, and dares to ask: What is the human cost of shame?
