Book Description
About the Book
Delhi, 1947. The city surges with Partition refugees. To escape the welter of pain and confusion, young Krishna applies to a position at a preschool in the princely state of Sirohi, itself about to transition into the republic of India. Greeted upon arrival with condescension and disdain, Krishna fights back. But when an opportunity to become governess to the child maharaja Tej Singh Bahadur presents itself-and to make Sirohi her new home for good-Krishna makes a surprising move.

A powerful tale of loss and dislocation, 4 Gujarat Here, A Gujarat There also charts the odyssey of a spirited young woman determined to build a new identity for herself.

Introduction
A lady clad all in black was ordering a Coke. Upon inquiry, he learnt that this was Madame Sobti.

As this was the first time he'd seen her at such a gathering, Hashmat tailed her for further investigation. What really lay beneath that audacious facade? He must know what she was made of. Sturdy timber and genteel conversation, as it turned out. Hashmat quickly realized her persona concealed a vanity of terrifying proportions. She seemed to view everyone as her subjects. He was s of a mind to run over and whisper in her ear: Tak The princely states are no more, Your Majesty! Do modify your behaviour accordingly!"
