Shama Futehally explores the life and spiritual legacy of the fifteenth-century poet-saint Mirabai, whose devotional songs remain central to Indian cultural identity. By examining the intersection of personal madness and divine inspiration, the text situates Mirabai as a pivotal figure in the historical narrative of the Indian renaissance and a symbol of resistance against traditional social constraints.
