On Kamala Das

Rajesh discusses the way women writers are seen in India, focusing on the works of Kamala Das.

That her private life being debated threadbare even after she had turned seventy three should give us enough insight into the iron cast template for an Indian writer who happens to be a woman. However if you stick to her writings, especially her poems, short stories and the memoirs from Childhood and later, you would be amazed at her uncanny ability to capture the subtle and nuanced social hierarchy and personal relationships among women and the disarming honesty in portraying human condition in general.

    Isn’t this funny? I am also doing research on Kmamala Das. In fact, I would like to know where I can find her. By the way, what are secondary books?
