An educator, a jurist, a diplomat and a journalist - four diversely talented sons of a Chitrapur Saraswat family, and their journey through life as-it-was, in the late 19th century and first half of 20th century. What were the defining social and political events in pre-independence India, what did it mean for social... equity, for women's status, for rule of law, these questions form a starting point for this book.

Here is a story of the Benegal family, hailing from a little-known coastal community in southwestern India ? who could as well be called global citizens in many senses. This is an informal history of their lives and times.

Nandan Nilekani Chairman & Co-founder Infosys

Published Date:- April 20, 2022

Kanchan Karopady Bannerjee has done a wonderful job of recounting the efforts of an extraordinary family from the tiny Bhanap community. Not only were the Benegals gifted enough to work across a diversity of professions, they also personified selfless nationalism, and were change-makers who were supported by strong women in their lives. I recommend this engagingly written book as essential reading for all ages – from millennials to pensioners – as a microcosm of the farreaching transformation in India’s sociopolitical history over a tumultuous century
