    Tradition versus modernity: a comparative study of Sunity Devi and Gayatri Devi works (1921-1976)
    (University of North Bengal, 2024-12) Lama, Sulakshana
    This research examines the contrasting themes of tradition and modernity. It focuses on the autobiographies of two prominent Indian princesses, Sunity Devee and Gayatri Devi. Both works delve into their experiences before and after India's independence, providing insights into the changing societal norms of the time. Despite being of royal status, these women encountered the challenge of harmonizing traditional values with modern influences. Their autobiographies offer a distinctive perspective on their adaptation to changing cultural environments, illustrating their personal growth as they interacted with traditional and modern aspects within Indian society. Through their narratives, readers gain a deeper understanding of the complexities faced by women in positions of power during a time of significant political and social change. Sunity Devee and Gayatri Devi's stories serve as valuable historical documents that shed light on the evolving roles and expectations for women in India during the 20th century.
