Description
Nusrat F. Jafri's meticulously researched, courageously honest account of her family's journey through the intersecting histories of caste, conversion, and the complicated inheritance of modern Indian identity provides one of the most personal and most intellectually serious explorations of these foundational questions of Indian civilization produced in recent years. Written with the intimacy of memoir and the rigor of scholarship, this is essential reading for every person committed to understanding the full complexity of what it means to inhabit an Indian identity. An important and valuable work.
