	Kamala Das - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kamala Suraiya, better known as Kamala Das, was born on March 31, 1934 in Malabar in Kerala, India.
		Kamala Das is probably the first Hindu woman to openly and honestly talk about sexual desires of Indian woman, which made her an iconoclast of her generation.
		Das abandoned the certainties offered by an archaic, and somewhat sterile, aestheticism for an independence of mind and body at a time when Indian women poets were still expected to write about teenage girlie fantasies of eternal, bloodless, unrequited love.

		Kamala Das was born in March 1932 in Punnayoorkulam in Malabar, Kerala, India.
		Kamala Das is undoubtedly among the most sensitive writers of short fiction in India today, a perfect artist who captures the complex subtleties of human relationships in the smooth textures of her simple and lyrical idiom.
		Das realizes the powerlessness of the female body and she believes that for the victimized woman in a patriarchal society, sexuality makes her physically, emotionally and spiritually vulnerable.

	Das, Kamala Criticism and Essays
		Her maternal grandfather and great-grandfather were Rajas, a caste of Hindu nobility, and her love of poetry began at an early age through the influence of her maternal great-uncle, Narayan Menon, a prominent writer, and her mother, Balamani Amma, a well-known Malayali poet.
		Das was also deeply affected by the poetry of the sacred writings kept by the matriarchal community of Nairs.
		Educated in Calcutta and Malabar, Das began writing at age six (her poems were “about dolls who lost their heads and had to remain headless for ever”) and had her first poem published by P.E.N. India at age fourteen.

		Like Sara Suleri's autobiographical work, that of Kamala Das exemplifies recent texts in which South Asian women authors make the self-interested qualities so condemned in earlier fiction become liberating, positive, and creative forces.
		Das often thus uses traditional religious imagery to sustain and dignify herself.
		Das reaches into her own religious tradition to find support for her defiant individuality.

		Born in Calcutta in 1934, Kamala Das often attended British schools where she was always a minority: a brown-skinned girl among caucasians, a Hindu among Christians.
		It is her sons and her poetry that give meaning to her life.Eventually Kamala Das gains recognition as a poet, despite her unorthodox approach to the role of women and her frank commentary on sexuality.

		The jackets of her books seldom fail to mention that she was “one of the first women” in India to write about discovering sex and love outside the sacred confines of a marriage.
		When I first read Kamala Das, however, I was at an age when those words meant little to me. I was not even a teenager, and in my house, her outspoken autobiography My Story was a source of contention.
		Kamala Das remains one of my favourite poets for precisely this reason: the honesty in her writing.

		Kamala Das was my sister-in-humanity (as I believe Adam and Eve to be our parents, and if anyone doesn't believe in that, that's alright too).
		The way my respected sister has expressed herself, I would not be surprised if many think that a Das (servant) has become Dashi (maidservant), merely to make her last name gender-correct (that is, a female can never be a Das).
		Furthermore, all those other Kamalas who might have been inspired by her would misunderstand her, and say, well thank God, that I am not a Muslim, or that Islam is not for me.

		Surayya said she decided to shun the purdah for the day only to seek her mother's blessings on her birthday by touching her feet, a practice which was an anathema to Islam.
		After she embraced Islam, Surayya had given up her Hindu name 'Kamala Das' and since then she was seen only in a purdah, both in private and public appearances.
