'A novel of ideas'--Jerry Pinto A child grows with mother's love Also with its reverse. The sun nurtures trees and flowers The moon is equal nurse. Thus do things grow and thrive In this our universe. The evening prayers in the ashram are over. Cowbells tinkle sweetly in the distance. The residents of the ashram sit in a circle, their eyes fixed on Shyam, who has promised them a story as sweet as lemon syrup. And so Shyam begins. While on some evenings he tells them of his boyhood days, surrounded by the abundant beauty of the Konkan, on others he recalls growing up poor, embarrassed by the state of his family's affairs. But at the heart of each story is his Aai-her words and lessons. He reminisces of the day his mother showed him the importance of honesty and the time she went hungry just so her children could eat a full meal. Narrated over the course of forty-two nights, Shyamchi Aai is a poignant story of Shyam and Aai, a mother with an unbreakable spirit. This evergreen classic, now translated by the incomparable Shanta Gokhale, is an account of a life of poverty, hard work, sacrifice and love.

This book presents an overview of the varied experiences and representations of motherhood in India from ancient to modern times. The thrust of the arguments made by the various contributors is that the centrality of motherhood as an ideology in a woman’s life is manufactured. This is demonstrated by analysing various institutional structures of society – language, religion, media, law and technology. The articles in this book are chronologically arranged, tracing the different stages that motherhood as a concept has traversed in India – from goddess worship to nationalism, to being a vehicle of reproduction of the sexual division of labour and the inheritance of property via the male-line. Underlying these stages are the dialectics between them that have been facilitated by agents such as the state – the ultimate controller of a woman’s reproductive powers. The feminist critique of ‘essentialising’ the role of a woman has been employed to deconstruct and humanise the experiences and lives of mothers. This anthology therefore attempts to initiate a meaningful and ‘sensitive’ engagement with issues pertaining to a woman’s autonomy over her body and her role also as a mother.

There is an imperative need to inculcate in our personal and social life, human values like freedom, equality, social justice, religious tolerance, secularism, environment friendliness, dignity and empowerment of women, and above all a scientific temper for ensuring social and economic reconstruction. However, the scientific temper has to be harnessed not merely for the creamy layers of society. It has to be harmonized with the needs of the poor and the deprived who dwell in 7,00,000 villages of India, many of them living below the poverty line. If they are made to suffer in silence for long, that silence may one day explode with all its fury and destroy the gains of the technological revolution sweeping across our country today. Gandhiji gave this warning to the nation in his lifetime, a warning that we can overlook only at our own peril.
