Dipavali Debroy

Debroy considers the intricate weave of mythology and contemporary themes through her accessible yet scholarly writing style. Specializing in children's literature, she explores the realms of mythology, Sanskrit, and philosophy, with a pronounced focus on women's perspectives and the often-overlooked narratives of single women in cultural and mythological contexts. Her works, which include over 50 books and translations, such as interpretations of the Vedas and the novel "Rishika", reflect a commitment to intertwining narrative depth with scholarly insight, thus making complex ideas approachable for young readers.\n\nHer background as a retired Associate Professor of Economics at Delhi University informs her writing, contributing a research-oriented approach to her stories. By presenting papers internationally in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, Debroy has expanded her academic engagement beyond traditional academia into a global context. This diverse exposure informs her work, allowing her to connect with a wide audience interested in both literary and educational themes. For readers seeking a blend of mythological depth and narrative simplicity, her books serve as a bridge between the ancient and the modern, making profound themes accessible to children and young readers.
