Each book of Mary A Osborne is like a journey – of knowledge, survival, hope, transition, of a mystical world. “My books carry a sense of transformational power, an element of magic,” says the award-winning American novelist. Yet, Mary found her calling as a writer only later in life. She got married relatively young to her college sweetheart. After spending 10 beautiful years together, life took a drastic turn with his sudden demise at the age of 34. “I was widowed with a small baby. It was a major tragedy in my life that taught me to introspect, self-analyze, and learn about how to be my person,” recollects Mary. Motherhood led her to writers’ workshops and the world of Carl Jung. “That’s how I learned about alchemy,” she recalls. “My writing took a big turn and also during that period I went to Italy and got consumed by art, especially at Florence."

Having spent her childhood in the Nilgiris, Jyothy Karat was dismayed to return as an adult to see what had become of the southern Indian mountain range. Thus began her journey making documentaries on sustainable development in the region, human-animal conflict and displacement of indigenous communities. An avid climber and mountaineer, she has recently released a documentary on Kerala's domesticated elephants, and has documented several communities in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka in the past. "Projects closer to home keep me awake at nights, whether it is stories from the Nilgiris or elephants in Kerala. In propaganda-rich environments, it’s hard to see clearly and derive at truths. It takes time, research, funds and an immense amount of will."

Umadevi Raje Jadhav has several achievements to her credit as economist and journalist, all of which become even more remarkable considering she is the descendant of an erstwhile royal family of Gujarat, and has a large royal estate to manage when she’s not on assignment. The former professor of economics grew up in palaces, but always had a practical head on her shoulders and a desire to prove her own worth. No wonder, today, even as she spends her time straddling three countries, she continues to consider herself an “IAS officer’s daughter”, valuing education and cultural responsibility over entitlement.

Samra Zafar was 16 when her parents arranged her marriage to a man 11 years older than her. Subsequently, she moved to Canada with him on the premise that she could fulfill her aspiration to attend University. It did not happen. Instead followed years of emotional and physical abuse by her increasingly possessive husband. She gave birth to two daughters and tried to fulfill all the expectations laid on her as a wife, as a daughter-in-law, but somewhere always fell short. Every single day, she was humiliated, assaulted, isolated, disrespected, and repeatedly told that she was not good enough. Yet, she refused to give up on life, and continued to follow her dreams of an education, even if it meant escaping her marriage and building her own new life. Today, she is the voice of change for millions of others.

In 2016, New York-based writer-journalist Yashica Dutt ‘came out’ on Facebook as a Dalit in response to Hyderabad PhD scholar Rohith Vemula’s suicide, which many have labelled an “institutional murder” after he protested against the casteist policies of Hyderabad University. In 2019, she wrote her memoir Coming Out as Dalit (Aleph Book Company) about growing up with the inhumane label of being low caste looming over her family. She talks to us about how the book came about, her thoughts on coming to terms with her Dalit identity, and the existence of caste discrimination in modern society.
