Description

This collection of poems is Savitribai Phule’s hagiography in verse or you can say – especially if you read the original Marathi – in song. Many of the poems are written in the form of ovis that are meant to be sung.

It is a little known fact that Savitribai was a poet of great substance, a master of her craft. When one considers the other, more celebrated accomplishments of her life – her pioneering of education for women and the lower castes and the very difficult times of nineteenth century India — her voice is truly astounding.

Here is a woman who went door-to-door convincing Shudras and Dalits to send their daughters to school, a woman who was pelted with stones and cow-dung in doing this duty towards her people, a woman who not only kept her chin up but also her heart open through all of it. Here is, in the truest sense, a saint.

Kaavya Phule: The Blossoming Voice of India's First Feminist Poet

Kaavya Phule is a powerful collection of poems written by Savitribai Phule — India’s first female teacher and a bold voice for women’s rights and education. These poems were originally written in Marathi and are now beautifully translated for everyone to enjoy.

Through her words, Savitribai speaks about equality, justice, education, and the struggles of the poor and marginalized. Her poetry feels honest, emotional, and ahead of her time — especially when she encourages women to rise and fight for their rights.

What makes this book truly special is how it connects history, literature, and the human spirit. It’s not just poetry — it’s a window into the mind of a fearless woman who changed India.

If you’re someone who loves meaningful writing and wants to feel inspired, Kaavya Phule is a must-read. It’s short, powerful, and unforgettable.

Kaavya Phule : By Savitribai Phule - she is the person who showed everyone the path to progress through this book.

Savitribai’s Kaavya Phule is a masterful collections of poems about secret to India’s progress during British India. It shows her effort to raise the status of underpriviliged population in the time that was trying to suppress dicent. This book is a testament to Priyamwada's lifelong translating Marathi books to English and her ability to weave together information, and storytelling into a compelling narrative. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how Savitribai's literature in British India shaped the life of Shudras and Dalits of the world we live in today. In fact she was the one who coined this term "Dalits" to help all the Savarna women specially upper caste women and Dalit population to learn and move towards a future which will help in human evolution.
P.S.: The illustrations in the books are unique and make pleasant reading experience.
