After Mahatma Gandhi asks each family to give one member to the non-violent freedom movement, 10-year-old Anjali is devastated to think of her father risking his life to join. But it turns out he isn\u2019t the one joining. Her mother is. As the family gets more involved in the resistance, Anjali must confront her privilege and prejudices to ensure their little part in the movement is completed.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333399;\">What inspired you to write this story and\/or these characters?<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The original idea for AHIMSA was based on my great-grandmother\u2019s story. She was a Gandhian freedom fighter who was jailed for her role in the resistance. She later went on to become a congresswoman post-independence. I thought it was an incredible story with a strong female character full of persistence and resistance and social justice. Although the story is now fictional, I think it still retains those traits that drew me to the idea in the first place.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333399;\"><strong>Everyone says writing is a process. Could you share a little about your writing and\/or research process? <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Coming from a screenwriting background, I always do little character write-ups first, getting to know my main characters. I then use the Blake Snyder Beat Sheet to figure out the beats I need and move on to outlining. Once that\u2019s finished, I start writing the actual draft<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333399;\">We know no writer is created in a vacuum. Could you tell the readers about a teacher or a librarian who had an effect on your writing life?<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vidhu Vinod Chopra, a Hindi film writer\/director\/producer has had a very big impact on my writing life. I started working on his writing team out of college and have learned so much from him about storytelling. It has been an incredible experience getting to learn from him.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333399;\">What makes your book a good pick for use in a classroom? Is there any particular way you\u2019d like to see teachers use it with young readers\/teens?<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a book that features an Indian character, AHIMSA can be a good pick for a mirror book and a window book. It also addresses social justice and privilege and resistance so although it takes place almost eighty years ago, many of its themes are relevant today, and can be used to show young readers they have what it takes to \u201calter the course of history\u201d as Gandhi said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #333399;\">I\u2019m a little dog obsessed here at www.patriciabaileyauthor.com.
