| Description: | Written in the 1920’s, Mother India discusses women’s issues, the Untouchables, animals, the countryside and its health issues, child-marriage and the responses and debates of its politicians related to these issues. A large part of the book deals with the problems resulting from the child-marriages of girls as young as seven years old and their mortality.
The author’s discussion of child-marriages was considered to be one of the main causes that led to an uproar across India over the book. Critics contended that the author wrote the book in opposition to the movement for Indian independence from British Rule. Most of the critics came from the Brahmin class who supported Hindu religious traditions and practices and the maintaining of the status quo as it related to marriage, women, Untouchables, and animal treatment.
