Autor

Vera Luboshinsky (1897-1978) was a Russian lawyer and writer. Emigrating to Czechoslovakia after the Bolshevik coup and Mark's subsequent friendship with Hamidullah Khan, the Nawab of Bhopal, gave Vera the chance to live in one of India's most prominent princely states from 1938 to 1945. Fascinated by life in Bhopal, Vera was inspired to write her 'Indian Diary'. After returning from India to Czechoslovakia, Vera and Mark lived under another Communist power takeover. Vera's life ended in obscurity with no hope of returning to her earlier fortune. Duan Deák is Associate Professor at the Department of Comparative Religion, Comenius University in Bratislava.
