However, the moment she met her future husband, that search for identity would become more fraught and complicated than she had ever imagined possible. She was a Bengali-Indian-Bangladeshi with a Hindu-Muslim background; he was a Jew with a passion for Arab-Jewish coexistence in the Middle East. They married, pursued careers as journalists, had children, and moved to Jerusalem. This catapulted Lipika into a world where freedom from cultural identity is unheard of. From the school you choose for your children to the wine you buy--you take sides at every turn and the question becomes--which side?
