Beginning with her memories of childhood in West Punjab, the work evokes the rural customs and religious practices consistent with recent scholarship on Punjabi religion rather than with the currently dominant Sikh discourse of a religion sharply distinguished from Hindu society. An arranged marriage at the age of 15 to scientist Gopal Puri brought Kailash ever-widening horizons as they moved from India to London.The Sussex Library of Asian StudiesAuthors, Panjabi20th centuryBiographyAuthors, Panjabi891.4/237BPuri Kailasha Ji.1926-1703249Nesbitt Eleanor M1143648MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822127103321Pool of life4088312UNINA
