Kusum Choppra

Ahmedabad,India

From historical to Silvers’ romance, Kusum Choppra  has come a long way from her journalistic roots;  the journey sits lightly, although the journo background means a colorful turn of phrase as well a plethora of  tales with surprising twists in the tail.  Born a Sindhi (Dolly Khemlani), with a multi-cultural family from a Punjabi husband to a Kashmir bahu and everything else in between, the adventures of Life have led to inevitable questions that women often have during their private conversations:  “Is it not possible for male-female co-existence to be peaceful and non-confrontational?  Can the balance not be redressed?”  Her pieces on Boloji apart, she has published 4 books after a very late start at age 60:  

BEYOND DIAMOND RINGS on the evolution of Sindhi women, 
MASTANI, the much-researched, myth shattering, double-ended expose of historical wrongs to a warrior princess,  
NIRBHAYA & OTHERS WHO DARED on 22 odd women who chose to stake out their space under the sun and now 
SILVER DREAMS that has the pace of a thriller but the mellow mood of a second innings.
