"writer"
[edit]For the record, I have removed from the article and talk page all statements about Mrs Sahgal being a "writer" because, according to the article, she is "only" the author of her autobiography. Biwom (talk) 14:59, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

It's a terrible article. I don't see how somebody's personal assessment of MZS's tone and lack of feeling, and speculation about why her book is likely to be of little interest, counts as information worthy of any reference source, encyclopedia or Wikipedia. As a matter of fact, the speculation is wrong, since Zutshi Sahgal's book is used as a required supplementary reading in undergraduate-level history courses in the US. Whatever the "tone" of MZS's memoir, it is full of detail and anecdotes that are an immensely valuable documentation of what it was like to be a footsoldier in the independence movement. We should be grateful to MZS and editor Geraldine Forbes for recording and publishing these important memories of a generation of unquestionable historical importance. At least put that little broom there to show that this article is of questionable value and needs citations, cleaning up, etc. And please remove all the speculation and personal opinion. |
