Product Overview

Thirty-five years ago Patricia, an Australian woman, left her home to live in India with her Sikh husband. My Mother India explores the challenges she faced settling in to life in India and raising her family in foreign culture. As the years passed and her children grew up, Patricia began to feel a part of her adopted homeland. Then in 1984, the communal violence of anti-Sikh riots forced her to question her real place in Indian society.
