Krishna Hutheesing meeting David Ben-Gurion (the first Prime Minister of Israel) in Israel, 1958
Hutheesing and her husband fought for India's independence and spent a great deal of time in jail.[5] Raja's terms in jail came while they were raising their two young sons, Harsha Hutheesing and Ajit Hutheesing.[citation needed]
In 1950, the Hutheesings toured the United States on a lecture tour.[6] In late May 1958 Krishna spent three days in Israel. Her host was Yigal Alon, who a year earlier founded 'The Israel-India Friendship League' as a tool to circumvent the then Indian government policy to avoid direct diplomatic relations between the two states.
Hutheesing documented her life as well as the lives of her brother, Jawaharlal and her niece, Indira Gandhi, in a series of books that intertwine history with personal anecdotes including We Nehrus,With No Regrets- An Autobiography, and Dear to Behold: An Intimate Portrait of Indira Gandhi.
Hutheesing's husband, Raja, also wrote books: The Great Peace: An Asian's Candid Report on Red China (1953), Window on China (1953), and Tibet fights for freedom : the story of the March 1959 uprising (1960).
Hutheesing was associated with the 'Voice of America' and gave several talks. She died in London in 1967.[7]
