Indira Iyengar is a social activist and founder of Mahashakti Seva Kendra, an organization formed to help
underprivileged women become economically independent. At present, it helps
more than 5,000 women in Bhopal and across tribal areas in Madhya Pradesh.
Previously, she had worked with Mother Teresa to establish the Missionaries of
Charitys first home for the destitute in Bhopal. She views this book as her
tribute to the Bourbon legacy and their contribution to Bhopal state, as well
as the fulfilment of a promise she made to her mother to record her familys
unique history.
