In 2002, Zara Chowdhary was sixteen years old and living with her family in Ahmedabad, one of India's fastest-growing metropolises, when a gruesome anti-Muslim pogrom upended her world. Instead of taking her school exams, she is put under a three-month lockdown with thousands of others, fearing for their community and their lives. The chief minister in the state at the time Narendra Modi, accused of fomenting anti-Muslim violence, would become prime minister of India and lead a government committed to eroding the rights of India's 220 million Muslims. In The Lucky Ones, Chowdhary weaves the past and the present of her multigenerational Muslim family, juxtaposing the horrific violence of rising fascistic forces on the streetswith the more mundane violence of patriarchal Indian joint families at the dinner table. Through the stories of sisters, daughters, and mothers raising each other, Chowdhary shows how women hold this world together with their ability to forgive, find laughter, and offer grace even as the world they know, and their place in it, is falling apart. With lyrical clarity and intimacy, The Lucky Ones is a poetic remembrance of how a country's promise of a multi-ethnic secular democracy can so easily dissolve and descend into extremism. Chowdhary's story is a protest against the erasure of India's Muslims, a testimony of a lost girlhood, and a testament to her family and country's entwined lives"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Chowdhary, Zara Zaheer, $d 1986- $x Childhood and youth. 650 0 $a Muslim women $z India $v Biography. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination against women $z India. 650 0 $a Muslims $x Violence against $z India. 650 0 $a Massacre survivors $z India $v Biography. 650 0 $a College teachers $z United States $v Biography. $9 84578 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Chowdhary, Zara Zaheer, 1986- $t Lucky ones $d New York : Crown, 2024 $z 9780593727447 $w (DLC) 2023057339 941 $a 2 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240725011039.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240716012449.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=41163D94433911EF824246BD21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
