From Purdah To The People – Memoirs Of Padma Shri Rani Laxmi Kumari Chundawat : “A Woman! A Rajput Rani! A Congress Ticket!” The startling news that Rani Laxmi Kumari Chundawat would contest for a seat in Rajasthan’s Legislative Assembly spread throughout the state. It was shocking that a Rajput rani was giving up purdah to the campaign, and even more astonishing that she was allied with the Congress, the party that had seized their lands and taken away their way of life. In this book, a remarkable woman who is also a gifted storyteller recounts the reminiscences of her adventurous life. Born in the feudal era, she never went to school, was married at seventeen, went to live with her husband in the Rajasthan desert, and had six children. She gives a vivid portrait of the now-vanished feudal world of her childhood and its transformation after independence.
