Her sharp intelligence had won her a scholarship to attend Oxford University, making her one of just a few Indian Muslim women to receive the opportunity. A keen observer, she kept a diary which records a time when competing political configurations to improve lives had seized public imagination in Europe. Away from mainland Europe, in the colonies of the British Empire the movement for freedom had gathered momentum. Depicting this era for the first time, A Long Way from Hyderabad presents us with the diary Muhammadi Begum kept while abroad, translated from the original in Urdu. It was a voyage of discovery for her, whose efforts were encouraged by a far-sighted mother and a supportive husband. Describing her everyday life in a foreign land is itself a new experience which our young diarist handles with aplomb. Full of curiosity, there are new people to meet and changes to accept, such as the birth of her child or balancing housework with studies. Indeed, she is not short of opinion. Whether discussing Gandhian philosophy with fellow academics, reciting Iqbal's verses, or quizzing her tutor about women's participation in the Oxford Union, Muhammadi Begum is at ease in her new surroundings and welcomes discourse."-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Translated from the original Urdu dairies. 546 $a Text in English. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 $a Begum, Muhammadi, $d -1990 $v Diaries. 600 10 $a Begum, Muhammadi, $d -1990 $x Knowledge and learning. 650 0 $a Muslim women $z Hyderabad $z Hyderabad $v Diaries. 650 0 $a Muslim women $z Oxford $z Oxford $v Diaries. 650 0 $a College students $z Oxford $z Oxford $v Diaries. 650 7 $a Muslim women $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030996 651 7 $a England $z Oxford $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJj8KVBr6pjWgtpDvWg9Xd $0 (OCoLC)fst01205511 651 7 $a India $z Hyderabad $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJyxbMMjtvYddvF8BT67pP $0 (OCoLC)fst01207982 655 7 $a diaries. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300027112 655 7 $a Diaries $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423794 655 7 $a Diaries. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Journaux intimes. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001057 700 1 $a Ahmad, Zehra, $e translator. 700 1 $a Masud, Zainab, $e translator. 700 1 $a Husein, Kulsoom, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240717020520.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A47A1F0440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
