Explore the vibrant world of pre-partition Punjab through the compelling autobiography of Ruchi Ram Sahni (1863–1948). This memoir, from “The Bookish Owl,” offers a unique glimpse into colonial Punjab as experienced by a prominent social reformer, scientist, and early political activist. Sahni, part of Punjab’s first English-educated generation, chronicles his journey navigating Hindu orthodoxy, embracing Brahmo Samaj ideals, and confronting European discrimination. As a confidante of “The Tribune’s” founder and an associate of freedom fighters like Motilal Nehru and Lala Lajpat Rai, Sahni provides an insider’s view of India’s nascent freedom struggle and the intellectual currents of his era. A vital read for history enthusiasts.
