‘Flowers of the
Sun: The People and Land of Kutch C. 1740 – 2020’ written by Dr. Mariam Dossal
is an exhaustive and brilliantly researched book on the people and history of
the land of Kutch.
Delightfully
interspersed with colorful photographs, the book is printed in a comfortable
font easy to read. It is divided into two sections. Section I has culture,
crafts and political economy of Kutch 1740 - 1870 and Section II which talks
about Kutch in a globalizing world.
It was a pleasure to have Dr Dossal over @ the Nehru Centre Library to talk about her journey while writing the book with a beautiful slide show. Also, the video of the morchang and bhorrindo played by Mr Umesh Jadia added to the flavour of the evening. @ Yamini Dand Shah, you were missed but thank you for sending in the video of your review. Thank you to all those who took the time out to attend and partake in the discussion
