बेड़ी बन गयी मुक्ति का हार: जयप्रकाश के जीवन के अनछुए पल : इंदु बाला वर्मा (E-Book)

The book is a brilliant portrayal of Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan’s personality and life by the author Indu Bala Verma the grand daughter of JP’s paternal aunt – a highly learned lady accredited for grooming JP and influencing his life right from his childhood. The theme of the book is the eight-page letter written by the newly wedded Prabhavati Devi to her husband offering him full cooperation in his pledge to freedom struggle and nation building. The book is a window of Lok Nayak’s commitment for woman emancipation, not much publicised, but has been duly acknowledged by his wife Prabhavati, a student of Kanya Pathshala Jalandhar before joining Gandhi Ashram in Wardha, in the following words, “When the women in West (until late nineteenth century and early twentieth century) are pushed to the kitchens for making cakes when crucial decisions on family and other matters are solely taken by men, you (for JP) !  are one asking for your wife’s opinion to take the most crucial decision of your life. This is not only a moment of pride for me, as your wife, but for all the women of the world. May God bless you for your success!
