Gauri Jhangiani is a young author with a zest for both writing and life. When she’s not writing, she enjoys reading, binge-watching TV shows and spending many hours on Tumblr. The Extraordinary Lives of Ordinary People is her first book.
Find out how these men and women shaped Indian civilization and made it richer with their skills and their wondrous innovations. From the first storytellers who wove tales of great imagination and then passed them down generations, to skilled workers who discovered how to weave cotton or created marvellous works of art like the Chola bronzes; from the farmers who fed everyone and even adopted new seeds and crops that have become staples now to poet rebels like Kabir and Guru Nanak who changed society with love and songs.
