Details

Meetings with Remarkable Women is a coffee-table book by Dr. Karan Singh.

With rare photographs and paintings, this title is the famous author’s journey back in time to his early years. Dr. Singh recounts his meeting with 27 extraordinary Indian women. These women are from different backgrounds in terms of religion and philosophy, but their achievements have transcended all differences and adversities. They have replaced all walls and closed doors with their liberating ideas, struggles, hopes and dreams. Some of the 27 women whose lives this book offers a glimpse of are Anandamayi Ma, Rukmini Devi Arundale, M. S. Subbulakshmi, Indira Gandhi, and Sonia Gandhi.

Eleanor Roosevelt, Indira Gandhi, Wangari Maathai, Edwina Mountbatten, Helen Keller they are among historys most fascinating women. What brings the focus back on them is Dr Karan Singhs recollection of the personalities, the impressions they left on him. it is his account of the familiar faces in different situations that gives the characters a new dimension. The Mountbattens visits to Srinagar, Indira Gandhis sudden announcement in Parliament of Dhaka falling to the Indian Army, the authors mother, Maharani Tara Devis activism in the aftermath of Partition, Rukmini Devi Arundales epic struggle to revive Bharatanatyam, Jawaharlal Nehrus remarks about the musical prowess of MS Subbulakshmi all this puts well-known history in a different perspective. With the remarkable women come alive their times and the events associated with them.

Viewed from a distance of time and with detachment, the personalities acquire new layers; they tell their own stories, and at the same time inform us of the tension and temperature of their world.
