Autorenporträt

Priya Khanna Mahajani; lecturer, wife, researcher and a mother of two young children was born and brought up in a small town in Punjab, India and had to migrate to Chandigarh for Higher Education. As a student of Sociology and Psychology, she was always keen to explore human behaviours and social relationships, hence resulting in her first study on 'dual roles' of women in society. This investigation inspired her study on social mobility and struggle between caste and class among the Jat Sikh and subsequently this ground-breaking book. This book is a thought provoking insight into the journey of self discovery and identity of migrants in the modern world.
