Like many in her generation, Lily voices concern about the state of the family unit and its disintegration as she recalls her struggles with the divorces of Shashi and Smita. Later in life, Lily had concerns with Shashi joining politics, believing (as many of us do) that it is not a good fit for a “highly educated scholarly man.” But he was keen to be of service to the nation, and she has been a strong supporter, joining him on his campaigns.
