The Hindu bard

In 1914 a 19-year-old Indian student caused a sensation when she was awarded the top prize – the bardic chair – at the 1914 University College of Wales Eisteddfod held in Aberystwyth. All the entries in the prestigious Welsh language and literature contest were submitted under pseudonyms. When the winner was awarded to “Shita”, for an ode written in English, Dorothy Bonarjee revealed herself as the author, and received a “deafening ovation”. It was the first time ever that the competition had been won by a non-European, or even by a woman.
