About The Book: Father India: A Reply to Mother India by C. S. Ranga Iyer is a sharp and reasoned response to Katherine Mayo’s 1927 book Mother India, which criticized Indian society, especially regarding child marriage, caste, and women's rights. Ranga Iyer challenges Mayo’s portrayal as biased, exaggerated, and rooted in colonial prejudice. While acknowledging India’s social issues, he emphasizes that reforms are already underway, led by Indians themselves. He defends Indian culture and urges for a fair, contextual understanding rather than judgment through a Western lens. The book is a patriotic call for dignity, reform, and resistance to imperialist misrepresentation of India’s realities.
