Being a rickshaw driver's daughter, I never attended a school and started working in my teens. Whatever clothes I had were handed down to me, I pined for books, but luck wasn't in my favor. Eventually, my parents mortgaged whatever little jewellery my mother had to ensure I had paid my exam fees so I could earn a degree. My mother has suffered a lot physically and emotionally. After all, it is not easy to be a woman in Uttar Pradesh; a patriarchal state infamous for atrocities against women."
