The book was published posthumously in May 1964, three months after the death of Elwin.[1] Natwar Singh lists the book as one of his five favourite autobiographies and appreciates Elwin's perceptive writing.[2] The autobiography also inspired Ramachandra Guha to switch fields from economics to sociology.[3]
