Githa Hariharan is an Indian author and editor based in New Delhi. Her first novel, The Thousand Faces of Night, won the commonwealth writers prize in 1993. Githa Hariharan was born in Coimbatore and grew up in Bombay and Manila. She obtained her B.A (in English) from Bombay University and M.A (in Communication) from Fairfield University. Hariharan first worked in the public broadcasting system in New York and then with a publishing firm as an editor in India. In her personal life she along with her husband, won the right to have the children named after her (instead of caring the father’s name); in this famous case argued by Indira Jaising, the Supreme Court agreed that the mother was also a natural guardian of the child. Githa Hariharan has spent her great time in Maharashtra and later in Manipur. For some time she worked as an editor in India but later moved to New York. She won a case in the Bombay High court that she is also a natural guardian and her son must use her initial rather than father’s name.
