Inter-faith marriages, once seen as the hallmark of a plural society, are now being increasingly used to further a divisive political narrative.Journalist Seema Chishti, herself the product of an inter-faith marriage from a time when the ‘idea of India’ was not just an idea but a lived reality, tells in this book the story of her parents: Sumitra, a Kshatriya Hindu from Mysore in Karnataka, and Anees, a Syed Muslim from Deoria in Uttar Pradesh. Woven into their story are recipes from Sumitra’s kitchen, a site of confluence for the diverse culinary traditions she mastered.This short book is an ode to all that made the coming together of Sumitra and Anees possible – a tribute to the big promise of India they brought into their modest home.Pages: 200Available in: PaperbackLanguage: EnglishTAGSBiography, Memoir and True StoryFood and DrinkSociety and Social SciencesOthers
