== Background ==
India Aertsens was born to Sabiha Rumani Malik (of a family related to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, one of the foremost leaders of the Indian independence movement and a renowned scholar, and poet). India’s mother was 17 years old at the time of her birth and married to Michel Aertsens, 20 years her senior. Aertsens was the son of First World War hero Gaston Aertsens and Marie-Louise Lacroix of the family of Belgian statesman Henri Jaspar. Soon after her birth India’s parents separated and India lived in Brussels with her mother who, whilst continuing her studies, worked as a translator to support her daughter and herself. In 1975 her father agreed to a divorce, and India’s mother married Andrew Knight, the editor of ''The Economist''; at age 9 India moved to London to live with her mother and stepfather. Her mother and step-father were married for 17 years and had two daughters - Amaryllis and Afsaneh. They were divorced in 1991, and soon after, India's mother married a family friend, the architect Norman Foster; they remained married until 1995. In her semi-autobiographical novel ''Comfort and Joy'', Knight writes about her family and her mother, and the additional weight she gained. India Knight began to use her stepfather's surname at the age of thirteen.〔(''Isn't She Talking Yet?''. )〕
