Written at the age of 83, Acushla is Sudhira Bhagat's first and last book, inspired by the consistent encouragement of her older daughter, Lolita Mayadas. Diagnosed with terminal cancer the week after completing the first draft, and finding herself too weakened to revise it to her satisfaction, Sudhira Bhagat entrusted the task of editing it to her younger daughter, Shanti Varma.Acushla is the love story of an Indian princess and an Englishman during the pre-Independence period. The duality and contradictions of the author''s spirit have found an eloquent voice in the character of Princess Gita (Acushla) and her conflicted search for personal freedom witin the context of India''s epic struggle for Independence.
