Welcome to Gargi’s World!In case you’re wondering, Gargi is an unusual name even in India, where I come from. Not many people know that it’s the name of a celebrated woman scholar from the Great Hindu epic, the Mahabharata.

What you’ll find on this site is a collection of my articles that have had the privilege of being published in various magazines or newspapers.
