I belongs from an Indian Family in Rajasthan, my family is really backward. They think girls are burden and they shouldn't have write to study, select her own husband. From Childhood I was Fond of studying, learning new things and specially I wanted to be a Dm (District Magistrate )
When I was bron no one was happy in my family cause I was a girl. From childhood I have to do household works my mom kinda supported me with studies but my dad was polar opposite. He doesn't want me to study. Somehow I managed to convince him to let me study. Time passed by I was in 11th standard. I was topper of my class and wanted to study more, But my dad had fixed my marriage I was 18 but wanted to study more.
My groom was a divorced man of 39 year old. From our first meet I was sure he doesn't have good intentions, but I was forced to get married to him.
My life turned upside down after that, after marriage he started treating me miserably, beating me torturing me mentally and physically before marriage he had promised me to let me study more but he broke that promise and doesn't allow me to study.
I seriously wanted to end my life but then I decided to take a step for myself. I ran away fron home to Delhi to one of my best friends house. She was really supportive. I lived with her and did part time job as a waitress and also study the UPSE syllabus. I had no idea what was happening in Rajasthan. I was scared what if they found me but my friend always encouraged me.
I studied really hard, and I got sucess as I was selected in UPSE and becomes The DM of my own state Rajasthan.
I was going to face my family after a year but not as the old scared girl but as a respected ISE officer.
I got there people were standing with flowers my family was there too. They were happy to see me guilt was clearly seen in their eyes. They were proud of me and apologised and I forgave them
As for my so called husband I gave him divorce and put him in jail for 6 months for domestic violence. I found my true love in Delhi. After that I lived happily
~Never give up on your dreams and work hard~
This is not my struggle but it's real struggle story of an Indian (ISE officer)
