Synopsis
In the 20th century, many Indian women articulated themselves in autobio-graphical records. Banasa's book, composed shortly before her death in 1957, represents a spiritual autobiography, authored by a woman from the Marwari merchant community from Shekhavati in Rajasthan (North India) and in the local language. It mirrors norms in conflict, norms for women and religious norms, and how the author transgressed and, eventually, reconciled them. The book is a record both of an individual strife and the life of a social group exposed itself in the first half of the 20th century to considerable tension.Im 20. Jahrhundert haben indische Frauen sich vielfach in Autobiographien dargestellt. Banasas Buch ist die spirituelle Autobiographie einer Frau aus der Schicht der MarwariKaufleute von Shekhavati in Rajasthan (Nordindien), verfasst kurz vor ihrem Tod im Jahre 1957 in der Sprache ihrer Heimatregion. Es reflektiert widerstreitende Normen, solche fur Frauen und religiose Normen, und zeigt, wie die Autorin Normen uberschritt und schliesslich miteinander versohnte. Das Buch ist Zeugnis personlichen Ringens und schildert zugleich das Leben einer gesellschaftlichen Gruppe, die in der ersten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts selbst erheblichen Spannungen ausgesetzt war.
