I wrote this book for the Hindus who question their place in this religion because of patriarchy or fundamentalism, and for myself, because I love my religion and want to see it become better. My Hinduism is one that can be critiqued, put through the wringer and come out stronger for it. I do not believe it to be above criticism, and I’ve written more about that here if you're interested. I know that some people will read this book and be curious about my relationship to Hinduism or yes, even be angry about my portrayal of Hindu figures. I’m so grateful I can share this brave, determined, and ultimately flawed character with you. Kaikeyi began many years ago, as I listened to my Aai and Ajji disagree about the character of Kaikeyi in the Ramayana. I believe Goodreads should stay a platform for readers, so I'll be continuing my policy of avoiding this page after posting this. Kai I was encouraged by some readers to share a bit of information about Kaikeyi here that readers may be curious about.
