MAMAJI
Mamaji was brought up in an orthodox Hindu family, practised in the ancient rituals and duties associated with her religion, and she received little schooling. When she was seventeen her father arranged her marriage to Amolak Ram Mehta: the marriage of a girl who couldn't speak English, was extremely superstitious, and had never been inside a shop to a British-trained doctor who loved music and was addicted to tennis, parties, and cards - and had expected a wife with similar interests.
