Fiji Maa : Mother Of Thousand
Paperback Edition: 1
In Fijian and Hindi
"Years from now when Fiji Hindi ceases to be a living tongue, when patois English or an Indo-Fijian language supplants it, scholars will look back at Subramani's creative output in the Fiji Hindi demotic, Indian plantation culture's singular subaltern language, as the great archive of the language and its people."
Fiji Maa : Mother of Thousand is written from the point of view of women and has an array of female characters with the main character being a beggar woman who sits in front of Westpac Bank watching and observing everyone and everything going on around her - the political and personal intrigues of which she knows all about.
Her friendship with an iTaukei woman is at the heart of this story.
