Establishment of Mukti Mission

In the year 1889, Pandita Ramabai returned to India.

In 1920 Ramabai’s body began to flag and she designated her daughter as the one who would take over the ministry of Mukti Mission.However, Manorama died in 1921. Ramabai's evidence created a great sensation and reached Queen Victoria. We both saw the significance of ideology in power relations. The first evangelist of the WCTU was Mary Greenleaf Clement Leavitt.

Tolkien and his son Christopher inspired a love of Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse, and from the time I was given a copy of the Jerusalem Bible for which J.R.R. The couple had a daughter whom they named Manorama. Husband and wife had planned to start a school for child widows, when Medhvi died in 1882.

After Medhvi's death, Ramabai moved to Pune where she founded Arya Mahila Samaj ( Translation: Arya Women's Society).

She completely rejected those aspects of Anglican doctrine that she considered irrational.

Pandita Ramabai continued to follow a vegetarian diet. After coming to India, she established a school named Sharda Sadan for child widows in Pune. There thousands of tribal children, orphans, child widows and other destitute women were rescued and given shelter in the Mukti Mission.

By the year 1900 the Emancipation Mission had 1,500 inhabitants and over 100 head of cattle.

A learned woman knowing seven languages, she also translated the Bible into her mother tongue - Marathi - from the original Hebrew and Greek.

Adopted Christianity

In the year 1883, with earnings from the sale of her first book Stree Dharma Neeti and through contacts with the CSMV, Pandita Ramabai went to Britain to pursue medical training. Don't you see, Mrs. Bull, that however a man may conduct himself, there will always be persons who invent the blackest lies about him?

Like Ramabai’s writings, it does not fit neatly into most forms or genres, and in this I have always been conscious that AOJC’s books were all sui generis. His focus was on the subject, not the critics. The title was never in doubt: “Let the Earth Hear her Voice!”

On April 5th 2022, all being well, I will be at Mukti, the community founded by Ramabai near Pune, for a celebration of her life, and the launch of the centenary edition of the biography.
