In other words

de Urvashi Butalia, Ritu Menon

Works by Indian women writers. In Urmila Banerjee's The Tamarind Tree Murder, a man who becomes a bigamist kills his mother to save her from finding out, in Ritu Bhatia's The Smothering, a woman married to an American first rejects her Indian past to appear more American, then goes back to it when misfortune strikes.
