A Marathi Saga: The Story of Sir Moropant and Lady Yashodabai Joshi
Synopsis
'The summit is near and my legs are heavy with fatigue.' So Lady Yashodabai Joshi told her daughter Manikbai Bhide on her deathbed in 1948. She little realized that the journey she had taken would become a classic Marathi narrative, published by her daughter, her amanuensis, who was prevailed upon to disregard the author's wish that the account be kept only for private circulation. The classic Marathi narrative is now retold by her grandson in English, 55 years after Yashodabai Joshi passed away. Hers is a story that spans 80 years of the rise and fall of the Raj. Its pages stir with the first feelings of Indian national pride and brim with the ardour of one who was labelled a 'reformer'. A Marathi Saga : The Story of Sir Moropant and Lady Yashodabai Joshi is a fascinating and rare autobiography; it is history as told by an eyewitness.
