Summary "The Autobiography of an Indian Princess" by Maharani of Cooch Behar Sunity Devee is a personal memoir written in the early 20th century. The work details the life of Sunity Devee, a member of an Indian royal family, and focuses on her experiences growing up in a traditional society that grapples with the tensions between old customs and modern influences. Through her story, the memoir delves into themes of family, culture, and the complexities of love and duty in a changing India. The opening of the autobiography introduces us to Sunity Devee's childhood, which is marked by a blend of privilege and the challenges posed by her family's embrace of progressive ideas, particularly her father's role in the Brahmo Samaj movement, which sought to reform Hindu practices. Sunity, born in Calcutta in the mid-19th century, recounts her happy early years filled with familial love, traditional values, and rich cultural experiences. As she narrates her childhood, she also reflects on her parents' sacrifices and the radical choices they made, including their departure from caste restrictions. This foundation of love and education shapes her identity and prepares her for the significant events that follow, such as her arranged marriage to the Maharajah of Cooch Behar—a union that promises to merge her progressive ideals with the traditional expectations of royal life.
