Many of the poems are written in the form of ovis that are meant to be sung. It is a little known fact that Savitribai was a poet of great substance, a master of her craft. When one considers the other, more celebrated accomplishments of her life - her pioneering of education for women and the lower castes and the very difficult times of nineteenth century India - her voice is truly astounding. Here is a woman who went door-to-door convincing Shudras and Dalits to send their daughters to school, a woman who was pelted with stones and cow-dung in doing this duty towards her people, a woman who not only kept her chin up but also her heart open through all of it. Here is, in the truest sense, a saint.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47779612164247,"sku":"9781471065088","price":929.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781471065088.webp?v=1778037836","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/kaavya-phule-a-collection-of-poems-9781471065088","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
