Beginning in 1959, during the upheaval surrounding Tibet and India-China relations, the narrative follows Sudha Johorey's experiences as the wife of an Indian political officer. It combines personal memories, diplomatic history, travel and Buddhist spirituality, providing a glimpse into a changing India and Tibet.
Susan Murphy is an author whose work on Toppled World grew from her long friendship with Sudha Johorey and her interest in Tibetan culture and Buddhist teachings. Her research and interviews over many years helped bring Johorey's memories and experiences together in this book.
Toppled World recounts Sudha Johorey's journey from her experiences in the Indian Mission in Yatung during the turbulent period of 1959 to her travels and life across India, Afghanistan and frontier regions. Her friendship with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, encounters with Tibetan culture, and growing engagement with Buddhist teachings form an important part of the narrative. The book also provides personal reflections on the political and social changes affecting India and Tibet during the early years after Indian independence.
