Summary:	"Part history and part personal record, Children of Kali reveals how British India demonized millions as hereditary criminals, setting off a witch-hunt whose effects are still felt today. It is a book about the misunderstandings of what is alien and exotic, and few things have been more misunderstood than the nature of Kali herself."--Book jacket.
