註釋The first writing is a sensitive translation of Sarala Devi's memoirs from the Bengali, Jeeraner Jbarapata, by Sukhendu Ray. It is the first autobiography written by a nationalist woman leader of India. Sarala Devi was Rabindranath Tagore's niece and had an unusual life. The translation unfolds, among other things, what it was like to grow up in a big affluent house Jorasanko, which had more than 116 inmates and a dozen cooks! The second writing by Malavika Karlekar is a photo essay, creatively conceived, visually reflecting the social and cultural trends of the times, through styles of dress, jewellery and accountrements. The modern style of wearing a sari was introduced by Jnanadanandini Devi, a member of the Tagore family. --
