About the Book
Leaving India: My Family's Journey from Five Villages to Five Continents by Minal Hajratwala is a remarkable blend of memoir, family history, and social exploration. Through years of research and personal investigation, Hajratwala traces the extraordinary story of her extended family as it spread across the globe over more than a century, creating a vivid portrait of migration, identity, and belonging.
Beginning in rural Gujarat, the book follows generations of family members who journeyed to different parts of the world in search of opportunity, security, education, and new beginnings. Their experiences reflect the broader story of the Indian diaspora and the countless individuals who left their homeland to build lives across continents.
The narrative combines historical research, interviews, personal memories, and travel writing to reconstruct the lives of relatives whose paths led them to Africa, Europe, North America, and beyond. Through these interconnected stories, the author explores how migration reshapes families while preserving cultural ties across great distances.
