| Summary, etc. | About The Book: Mother India (1927) by Katherine Mayo is a highly controversial critique of Indian society, culture, and politics, particularly opposing the Indian independence movement. Mayo criticizes India's treatment of women, Dalits, and animals, while portraying Indian men as sexually weak, attributing societal issues like rape and early pregnancies to this. The book was widely criticized for racial prejudice and misrepresentation of India. Mahatma Gandhi condemned it as distorted, and it was burned in protests. Despite some praise, it remains a symbol of imperialist, Indophobic views. About The Author: Katherine Mayo (1867–1940) was an American historian and writer known for her controversial views on race, immigration, and colonialism. Her 1927 book Mother India criticized Indian society, sparking backlash, especially from Gandhi. Mayo also advocated for nativism, racism, and imperialism, notably in The Isles of Fear (1925). |
