August is celebrated as Women in Translation month. So, I'm happy to share my new translation 'Sardar : The Game Changer' by Geeta Manek. Geeta Manek is a Gujarati author and playwright. She has written for Gujarati cinema.
This book was originally written in Gujarati. It's been translated into Hindi by the author herself. And I am so thankful that I got an opportunity to translate this book into English.
As you can guess, it's the story of partition and how Vallabhbhai Patel played a pivotal role. But it's more about the integration of Princely States.
The country was reeling with anarchy, and the British were leaving us in the lurch. Every problem was serious in its own way, but the integration of princely states into the Republic of India was the most challenging task.
Translating this book was an enlightening experience.
It's published by Kautilya Books.
You can buy this book here (in case you like History).
