| Summary, etc | Rukmini Devi Arundale: Arts Revivalist and Institution Builder tells the story of an extraordinary woman who found herself in fortuitous circumstances and used them to revive the arts and build educational institutions. She was courageous enough to say no to the offer of becoming India’s first woman President and to the title of World Mother proposed by the Theosophical Society. In this book we see how Rukmini Devi saw dance, learnt it and made it available to everyone who desired to learn it through her institution, Kalakshetra. She resituated the dance and set up a traditional space for its training amidst nature, clothing it in handloom, pure colours and texture, jewellery and handicrafts that deserved to be celebrated. She used the unique position she found herself in, to tap into and revise the regenerative resources of the tradition of dance, reinterpreting it in her own creative way. This monograph describes how a young Rukmini became the celebrated Rukmini Devi, and the struggle she underwent to set up the various institutions that are her living legacy today. About the Author: V R Devika is a well-known storyteller, educationist and Gandhi scholar with a PhD on M.K. Gandhi’s Communication Strategies.
