Vindhiya (India Devi)
This is a personal account of some glimpses into the life of my elder sister India Devi who was a distinguished short story writer during 1947 to 1960.
It was 15 August 1947 – the Independence Day – when India was liberated from British rule, a day of national rejoicing. For the family of Sundaresans in Berhampur, a small town (now in Orissa) there was one more reason for rejoicing: a short story by their eldest daughter, India Devi had been published on the same day in the prestigious Tamil magazine Kalai Magal (Avani 1947). She was only 20 years young.
