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. 410 4$aThe Sussex Library of Asian Studies 606 $aAuthors, Panjabi$y20th century$vBiography 615 0$aAuthors, Panjabi 676 $a891.4/237 676 $aB 700 $aPuri?$b Kaila?sha Ji?.$f1926-$01492042 701 $aNesbitt$b Eleanor M$01143648 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790623403321 996 $aPool of life$93714295 997 $aUNINA
