Chitra Mudgal was born in Chennai on 10 December 1943.[1] She received her M.A. in Hindi Literature from the SNDT Women's University. She married Awadh Narain Mudgal, former Editor of "Sarika", against her father's wish.[2]

Literary work

Her novel 'Aavaan', portrayed the lives and times of the trade union movement when nearly 300,000 workers spearheaded by Datta Samant went on a year long strike of the Mumbai textile mills, which finally saw the collapse of the city's trademark industry. This work has been unanimously acknowledged by the critics as a masterpiece of literary work and stands as a classic novel in Hindi Literature.[3]

The plot of her novel Aavaan was conceived following the murder of a committed trade union leader, Shankar Guha Niyogi.[2] His murder was in fact followed by the murder of another popular unionist of Bombay, Datta Samant.[4] Subsequently, another labour leader of Madhya Pradesh, from Maihar, was killed.Шаблон:Citation needed

The murder of Datta Samant, who was her guide and philosopher, "shattered her" and became the bases of her novel Aavaan.[2]
