Abstract

Prof. Puran Singh appeared as a shining star in the world of literature with his book “The Sisters of Spinning Wheel”. He was a poet, writer, philosopher and a great scientist. He wrote his autobiography in the year 1924 but it was published in 1927, almost a century ago when autobiographies were rarely written. So this autobiography is a rare gem in itself which gives a peep into the style, structure, language and pattern of this genre of literature of those times. It is also important to note that Prof. Puran Singh was contemporary to Sri Aurobindo and Rabindranath Tagore.
