Ants Among Elephants

This compelling true story takes readers into the world of an untouchable family in India, educated by Canadian missionaries in the 1930s. The author, Sujatha Gidla, shares her family's history of poverty, injustice, and the hope for a brighter future. She tells the story of her revolutionary uncle who became a famous poet and founder of a left-wing guerrilla movement, and her mother's battles with caste and women's oppression. Ants Among Elephants is more than just a personal history of modern India - it's a moving portrait of love, hardship, and struggle.
