KarmicKids makes it to academia: Mothering Narratives in Contemporary India by Sucharita Sarkar

Delighted that Karmickids which began purely as an effort to document my son’s growing years, and my journey as a mother, is now part of academia as a chapter in Sucharita Sarkar‘s Ph.D Thesis on mothering narratives in contemporary India, with a special focus on mom blogs written between 2000-2013. Congrats Sucharita Sarkar, it has been a long journey and I am honoured that Karmickids could be part of your journey to a doctorate too.

While the blog on which the thesis is based, is now closed, the book I wrote based on the blog did go on to become one of the top five books on parenting in India in 2015, the year it was published. If you haven’t read it, here it is
