In 1526, when the nomadic Timurid warrior-scholar Babur rode into Hindustan, his wives, sisters, daughters, aunts and distant female relatives travelled with him. These women would help establish a dynasty and empire that would rule India for the next 200 years and become a byword for opulence and grandeur. In Daughters of the Sun, we meet remarkable characters like Khanzada Begum who, at 65, rode on horseback through 750 kilometres of icy passes and unforgiving terrain to parley on behalf of her nephew, Humayun....

The author Sri "M" is an extraordinary individual. His uniqueness lies not only in the fact that at the young age of 19 and a half, he travelled to snow-clad Himalayas from Kerala, and there he met and lived for several years with a "real-time" yogi, Babaji, but also that he should undertake such an unusual and adventurous exploration, given his non-Hindu birth and antecedents. The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri "M", a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, is born of first-hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness....

The 19th century was an exciting time of initiative and enterprise around the world. If John D. Rockefeller was creating unimagined wealth in the United States that he would put to the service of the nation, a Parsi family with humble roots was doing the same in India. The Tatas is a tribute to a line of visionaries who have a special place in the hearts and minds of ordinary Indians. Written by seasoned journalist Girish Kuber, this is also the only book that tells the complete Tata story spanning almost 200 years.

Privacy is a fundamental right
- By Prashanthini on 02-01-20
Publisher's Summary
Focusing on relationships between women of different generations in India, this book is comprised of narratives demonstrating how each contributor established her own personhood through engagement with a wider kin group.
Did the women portrayed in the narratives find space for themselves within orthodox structures? Or, were they so constrained by the social roles of the greatest importance to their families - as wives and mothers - that ending these roles meant some kind of death? How did their lives mould those of the narrators of these life histories?
Showing that women need not always be seen as victims, these are stories of women who found strength, success and independence from the inspiring lives of their mothers and grandmothers.

What an underrated book!
It took me just 3 days to finish 'A Space of Her Own', such was the book! This was my first audiobook - I loved the narration style and the accounts of women's lives across geography and generations. I don't know why the book isn't so popular, it should rightfully be so! The stories were engaging and changed my perspectives about people's lives a lot, mainly women.
It is one of my best reads in a while!

Yes, women are tower of strength
Struggle for respect and love within family, right to education, right to parental property are few things that women are struggling with. I could connect to each word and sentence here as I faced almost each of the cruelty mentioned out here. Also, how women, mothers/ grandmothers, deal with their daughters/granddaughters , so called rules of patriarchy which they had borne themselves. Still it's also a story, where few women were able to break the shackles and create a path of their own, which gives hope, example and inspiration to others....
