Description
In the early nineteen thirties Ayi Tendulkar, a young journalist from a small town in Maharashtra, travelled to Germany to study. Within a short time he married Eva Schubring, his professors daughter. Soon after the short-lived marriage broke up, Tendulkar, by now also a well-known journalist in Berlin, met and fell lin love with the filmmaker Thea von Harbou, divorced wife of Fritz Lang, and soon to be Tendulkars wife. Many years his senior, Thea became Tendulkars support and mainstay in Germany, encouraging and supporting him in bringing other young Indian students to the country. Hitlers coming to power put an end to all that, and on Thea von Harbous advice, Tendulkar returned to India, where he became involved in Gandhis campaign of noncooperation with the British and where, with Theas consent, he soon married Indumati Gunaji, a Gandhian activist. Caught up in the whirlwind of Gandhis activism, Indumati and Tendulkar spent several years in Indian prisions, being able to come together as a married couple only after their release managing thereby to comply with a condition that Gandhi had put to their marriage, that they remain apart for several years to serve the nation. In this unique account, Indumati and Tendulkars daughter, Laxmi Tendulkar Dhaul, traces the turbulent lives of her parents and Thea von Harbou against the backdrop of Nazi Germany and Gandhis India, using a wealth of documents, letters, newspaper articles and photographs to piece together the intermeshed histories of two women, the man they loved, their own growing friendship and two countries battling with violence and nonviolence, fascism and colonialism.
