A Glimpse into a Lost World
Out of India Raj: Childhood is an enchanting memoir that transports readers to a bygone era of Indian history. It chronicles the extraordinary childhood of Princess Sumitra Devi, a royal princess of the princely state of Sarangarh in Central India. Written with vivid detail and captivating prose, this book offers a unique glimpse into a world of opulence, tradition, and adventure.
The Princess's Story
Princess Sumitra Devi was born in 1914, the daughter of Maharaja Sir Bikram Deo Singh Bahadur and Maharani Gayatri Devi Sahib. As a young girl, she grew up in the sprawling palaces and lush gardens of Sarangarh, surrounded by a retinue of royal attendants and tutors. Her days were filled with lessons in music, dance, and etiquette, as well as traditional ceremonies and religious rituals.
Despite her royal upbringing, Princess Sumitra Devi yearned for a life beyond the palace walls. She loved to explore the surrounding countryside, interact with the local villagers, and immerse herself in the vibrant culture of her homeland. Her memoir captures the essence of this childhood, bringing to life the sights, sounds, and smells of a world that has long since vanished.
A Clash of Cultures
As Princess Sumitra Devi grew older, she became increasingly aware of the contrasting worlds she inhabited. The princely states, with their traditional values and customs, were gradually being absorbed into the larger, more modernizing British Raj. This clash of cultures is a central theme of the memoir, as Princess Sumitra Devi navigates the challenges of reconciling her traditional upbringing with the changing times.
