Raj by Gita Mehta
Gita Mehta's first novel describes the life of an Indian princess, Jaya Singh, brought up in Royal India in the 1920s, who becomes politically active and is torn between her loyalty to tradition and her admiration for Gandhi.
Born a princess of the Royal Household of Balmer, Jaya Singh is torn between the traditions of her upbringing and the ideals of the Mahatma. Grounded in details of ancient royal tradition and Hindu ritual, this story is set against the complex political realities involved in the passing of the Raj and the birth of two nations, India and Pakistan.
