Abha Dawesar – Babyji, A Story of Physics, Sex and Caste Politics in India
Babyji
Anamika Sharma, the lead character in the novel Babyji, by Abha Dewasar grows up in Delhi, India, studying quantum physics at school and sex out of school. The story follows the life of a girl who sets her own rules in a culture that historically demands the opposite. Our conversation begins with the author Abha Dewasar describing India, the place where she grew up, and where the life of Anamika takes place.
Abha Dawesar recommends “Purple Hibiscus,” by Chimamanda Ngozi Ardiche.
