A a diplomat n educator, a jurist, a and a journalist four
diversely talented sons of a Chitrapur Saraswat family, and their journey
through life as-it-was, in the late 19th century and first half of 20th
century. What were the defining social and political events in pre-independence
India, what did it mean for social equity, for women's status, for rule of
law... these questions form a starting point for this book. Here is a story of
the Benegal family, hailing from a little-known coastal community in
southwestern India who could as well be called global citizens in many senses.
This is an informal history of their lives and times.
