Take me to India
Rama's Christian faith lost her many supporters in India and America. The Indian Advisory Board resigned. The Unitarians stopped sponsoring the school. And Judith Andrews came to India to visit the school and encourage Rama. I think Judith wants to bring Rama back to herself, and to do so she needs to take Rama away from daily routine and back to the beginning of Rama's long journey when she was the impoverished daughter of an itinerant Shastri. And Rama herself is ready to leave her troubles to guide Judith into India.
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
“Take me to India,” Judith said impulsively.
Rama shook her head. “I don’t understand. You’re in India.”
“I’m in Pune and spend my time at Sharada Sadan. I must see more, hear more, taste more, and smell more. You traveled across America. Is it so strange I want to see India? You need a rest. Take me to India. Show me what you think I should see and explain it so I understand.”
Rama thought a few minutes. “Perhaps you’d like to see the Taj Mahal?”
“Yes, I would, but I want to see more than monuments. I want to carry India home with me in my heart as well as my head. The combination of your reports and my experience will keep our cause in the public eye.”
“Very well,” Rama jumped up. “We leave tomorrow.”
