New Delhi:
Screenwriter Supriya Kelkar sheds light on the Indian freedom movement in her debut novel which is inspired by her great-grandmother's experience working with Mahatma Gandhi.
The book
Ahimsa will be published in India in August.
In 1942, after Gandhi asked one member of each family to join the non-violent freedom movement, 10-year-old Anjali was devastated to think that her father will risk his life for the country. But he's not the one joining. Anjali's mother was.
As the family got more and more involved in the cause, Anjali gives up her privileges and confronts her prejudices to ensure her little contribution to the movement is complete.
