"My Mother India" by Dalip Singh Saund is a cultural and historical analysis published in the early 20th century. The work aims to provide a counter-narrative to the perceptions of India held by Western audiences, particularly addressing misconceptions about its society, customs, and politics. The book delves into various aspects of Indian culture, including the status of women, marriage customs, and the ethics underlying Hindu civilization. The opening of the work serves as a preface where Saund outlines the purpose and intent behind the book, which arose from a desire to enlighten Americans about India's rich cultural heritage amidst a backdrop of rapid change. He addresses misconceptions perpetuated by previous literature, particularly pointing out the importance of understanding Indian society's complexities rather than relegating it to a mere exotic stereotype. The text emphasizes the integral role women have played throughout Indian history and challenges the stereotypical notions of their subjugation, setting the stage for deeper explorations of topics like marriage, ethics, and national identity in subsequent chapters.
