The Soul of a Book

Jennie Renton

Bengali writer NABANEETA DEV SEN is one of India's leading writers and thinkers. In this audio interview, she envisions a natural falling away of patriarchy and the wisdom of Indian women becoming harnessed for the future through education.

Dev Sen visited Scotland during the 2007 Edinburgh Festival, and, with three other Indian writers, gave a series of readings that led to thought-provoking exchanges of ideas.

The photograph shows her flanked by Selina Hossain and Bani Basu, in conversation with Donald Smith at the Storytelling Centre in John Knox House, Edinburgh.
